| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Dec 5, 2005 Poured a rich amber hue with very little head or lacing and a fruity cherrylike aroma. Light bodied, malty with light bitterness, caramely. Clean short finish. Not as good as I thought it would be, no bottling info that I could see. kramer (2515), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2005 12 oz bottle via trade with 1FastSTi. Clear copper pour, thin white head fleeting in duration. Aroma is of mild maltiness with an odd apple? smell. Pretty boring flavor, though nicely balanced. Palate is thin and lacking in depth. Overall a somewhat boring beer in a very boring style category. I will say that there was some oxidation in the finish, so possibly not the freshest sample? TheEnemy (422), Chicago, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 11, 2005 Dark copper with a thin, slightly off-white head. Same theme is carried into the flavor, which is also complemented with a very light sour fruit note. Medium body and nice bubbly palate. A simple beer done quite well.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2005 12oz. bottle. Malty aroma, redolent of toasted whole grain bread and mild, milky coffee with suggestions of hazelnut, light brown sugar and perhaps some faint maple. Light-medium copper-brown in color, very clear for being bottle conditioned, and with a slight, fine off-white head. Flavor is moderately sweet up front, some faint honey and caramel, becoming roastier in the middle, plenty of nuttiness to be found and by the finish some lightly bitter, lightly spicy hop flavors and cocoa are made apparent. Very gently earthy and smoky late. Smooth and somewhat thin on the palate with a medium body. Certainly very quaffable. Obtained via a Madison connection. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA
