| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 10, 2005 Diminishing white head covers a chestnut brown body. Pretty ordinary toasted cereal nose, slightly influences by leafy hops. Weak grapey and woody undertones peak through here and there, but nothing particularly enticing comes out of it. Thin-medium body, mostly relaxing carbonation. Oakes (8139), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 7, 2005 Slightly hazy brownish-amber colour. Slight woody note, with cocoa and straightforward maltiness. It’s a bit thin and metallic, but otherwise ok flavours balancing light dark malt notes with cocoa. csbosox (1082), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 29, 2005 Cptn. 12oz bottle, from Heemer77? Served at ~56° in a lager glass. The beer is dark red with a wispy, khaki colored head and some fizz. The aroma is caramelly malt and yeast with some vanilla?and prunes? The taste is sweet caramel malt and brown sugar, with some backing hops (an alcohol or acidity) that keeps the malt at bay (to a point). Has a nice, full mouthfeel. Nice enough beer.

Chestnut brown color, poured with a nice head, but it dropped out. Nuts, chocolate, malt, bit of raisin in the aroma. Nice aroma. Smooth, full-bodied malty beer...finishes sweet but crisp. Pretty nice bock beer, chocolatey, malty goodness.
