Aroma is very well-balanced, with strong scents of roasted malt and hops along with hints of spice, dark fruit, and yeast. Taste is creamy and medium-bodied, with a malty character ending up on a somewhat sweeter finish of hops and spices. One of the finer amber ale’s I can recall. JJClark (546), Roscoe, Illinois, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 22, 2008 Deep amber color, medium head. Easy sipping. Flavor is soft caramel malt, a bit of bread, a little bit of candy sugar. Nice spicy dry hops finish it out, providing a nice complement to the sweet malts. Wow. This is the way all amber ales should be. This would make a great session brew. hezron (604), Viroqua, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Aroma of sweet caramel malt, noticeable spicy hop notes and a hint of butterscotch, but not like diacetyl. Dark amber in color with a thin, white head. Nutty flavor, caramel malt mid palate and then some of the noble hop, spice notes in the finish. I really enjoy the floral, perfume and spice notes the hops give in the finish. Very well balanced. Palate is medium to light. Overall this is an easy drinking session ale.
