| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2006 Big alcohol bomb aroma. The flavor was all roasted caramel, very sweet, with some dark dried fruit, and alcohol again, but not over the top. A tad thin on the palate but quite nice! ElBorracho (472), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 29, 2006 An amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of caramel and wood. The flavor is like liquid caramel, strong caramel flavors and very thick, but also with light notes of alcohol, which in turn gives it a dryness. kms399 (267), plymouth, Minnesota, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2006 On-Tap @ freakin brothers of all places. Crazyness I tell ya. Dark red/ slight brown color, decent-sized head. Aroma is tons of dark fruit, dark and fruity, booze and dark candy. Flavor is hot, very alcoholic, it needs time to mellow, though this keg was aging quite nicely. Usual dark fruit stuff almost metallic alcohol twang at the end. Not bad, huge potential. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 18, 2006 Bottle. Color is slightly red and orange, luminescent. Nose of starchy honey, rough hops, rye and old tea leaves. Oily and thick, rusty cherry flavors abound. The bitterness is a bit boring, almost to the point of being annoying... it’s slightly metallic, slightly creamy too, with some resin cherry flavors in the finish, and a cigarette ash presence as well. Doesn’t do much more me, overall. mdi (573), Nebraska, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 17, 2006 12oz bottle, left behind by Kevin...gracias senor! Amber color. Sparse, but thick around the edges head...some lace. Wonderful red hue in the light. Gently rising bubbles. Intense carmel aroma shows faint citric hop spice...a wee bit of oxidized malt too, it plays well. Impressive palate. Malt, oxidation, hops completely in-check. Drinks like velvet. A very harmonious barelywine. I’m sure glad they didn’t add fruit to this one! Very "english" in character I guess...as the hops aren’t the focal point.
