| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2009 ( 750ml bottle thanks to jkwalking05) Pours a medium brown with nice lacing. Nose of crackers, alcohol and caramel. Taste is too sweet, heavy on the malts. Pretty cloying and lacks carbonation. Either way it was enjoyable, but not perfect. blutt59 (2119), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2009 From a wine bottle purchased in RI. Pours a dark brown with no head and a little fizz. Taste is of sweet caramel, molases and brown sugar. I thought a bit more carbonation would have helped. It was a little too syrupy for me but otherwise solid. For the price I wouldn’t buy again but I’m glad I had it. redlight (1475), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Fruity aromas, soft raspberries, with hints of smoke on the nose. Pours a dark red amber with no head. Very spicy, sweet malts, very mild tartness, a little funky, not bad but i’m not sure about it. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Pours brown with a thin off white head. Smells of sweet malt, molasses, sugar, tarte. Tastes sweet and boozy with a grassy, messy cloying finish. I’m losing faith in this series. Over the past few years, it seems like they are just taking whatever malts and hops are left over and laying around and throwing them in and seeing what happens.
