| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Another NG bottle sent graciously as a trade extra by pantanap! Im stoked on getting to try all these elusive little bastards from New Glarus. Pours cloudy bronze with good carbonation and a thick white head. Kind of a strange aroma of stale grains and old Hallertau hops. Also some notes of buttery toffee and malt. Very sweet flavor profile with some grape and apple fruit tones. Finishes with lots of toffee, caramelized sugar and warming alcohol. AgentSteve (1379), SF Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Pours a decent deep copper brown with a finger thick tan head. Nose and flavor is quite a bit of butterscotch and sweet, with a touch of corn husk like graininess. JohnC (2288), Mission Viejo, California, USA

Light caramel and sugary aroma. A little appley fruit flavor. Sweet grains, marshmallow and sugar. Not traditional, but delicious. twindadplus2 (417), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 30, 2009 Clear copper color with a firm, off-white head. Sweet, sweet aroma with a hint of spice. Deep, warming, dark fruit sweetness with a spicy bitterness lurking in the background. Medium bodied and very smooth on the palate. Long, lingering finish rounds it out nicely. mistersinalin (378), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 26, 2009 Distictly German! This toasty amber beer was nice and warm on a winter night. It seemed strong. This site doesn’t even list the alcohol. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Bottle, from the Co-op in Viroqua, WI. Basic copper, white head. Warming brandy and almond nose, golden raisins. Warming, refined distilled fruit flavor. Full and mouthfilling but at the same time very delicate. A rather drinkable sort of beer, though there is still the sense it is kind of strong. (Would love to know how strong...)
