| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of sweet, earthy malt, lots of red fruits/berries blending with lots of toffee. Flavor keeps some of those fruits but focuses more on the earthy malt/toffee feel. Almost a bit too earthy/grainy on the tongue for me, just not entirely my thing, but a very good beer.

Aroma of figs and malt and the beer tickles on the tongue with flavors of malt, caramel, a floral combination of fruit and sweets, and ends with a wonderful hop finish. scrizzz (1287), kirkland, Washington, USA

Great weighted raw grain character, earthy dense hops, but too much caramel malt and it finishes sweet and balanced drfabulous (1244), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 21, 2009 Smells like a barley wine. Deep red malt aroma. Tastes like that cross b/w barley and double IPA. Very sweet, caramel....but a bit of a musty taste lingers in there as well. Nice. OldMrCrow (1193), Seattle, Washington, USA

Pours a nice deep hazy red-brown with a small head. Good fruity aroma, Earthy hops with apple and apricot, balancing nicel with the strong malt body (not too sugary, little of that Lagunitas burnt caramel stuff going on).
Pretty durn solid. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA

More sweet malt than hops in the taste. Creamy. Really enjoyed this. carruthm (1140), Seattle, Washington, USA
