| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 6, 2009 Kilt lift S5L2F2T4O8: On tap at the Bocktown, nice place. A diminutive amount of fruit on the olfactory, comes across rather friendly to the nose. Brown red clear brew with no carbonation, looks completely flat. Earthy alky and buckskin flavors. Has some carob or choco backdrop. Not as burly as I anticipated but alky flavors build thru the session. Slight CO2 on the tongue. Acceptable finish tho somewhat medicinal tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 31, 2009 Mild peat-like smokiness under sweet malts and floral hops in the nose. Clear amber brown body is topped by a low off white head that recedes rapidly to a ring and partial cover. Flavour suggests marzipan nutty sweetness with light smoky notes and a hint of dark malts. Honey-like musty sweetness and almonds linger in the aftertaste. Medium light body is a bit watery in character with somewhat low carbonation. Tulip glass. Just above cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at the Brewery Creek in Mar-09. doboy (181), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Bottle.

Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee, nutty), light hops (grass), average yeast (earth) with notes of date and cola. Medium bodied, oily texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness. nickd717 (1374), Palo Alto, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Draft. Medium brown color with an off-white head. Aroma is lots of sweet caramel malt. Flavor is also very malty with some earthiness, caramel, and molasses. Nice smooth, medium-full palate with alcohol noticeable. Not bad for the style. Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 13, 2009 Pours a muddy brown with a thin head. Sweet caramel and a touch of molasses in the aroma. The flavor is surprisingly peaty and yet surprisingly thin so the alcohol comes on a little strong. THere is some dark fruit and caramel that I struggle to pick up. Decent. watson1977 (273), , Pennsylvania, USA
