I would best describe this as a turbodog with an excellent hop finish. I like turbodog a lot and this is just the icing on the cake. Caramel, spice, and hops make this a very quaffable brew.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 6, 2002 Coffee/chocolate in the aroma and flavor, some alcohol presence, which seems to strengthen in the finish into something that resembles a scotch-taste, although it is quite smooth in the end. Very nice! Easily the best beer in the house. nstal (237), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 23, 2002 I had a speech to give at a banquet for a student organization at this place, and a handful of these took enough edge off for me to not make an ass of myself. A little carmel and a little scotch, but a lot of flavor. slimchill (783), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2008 Draught. Sweet fruity nose with light caramel, cherry, and raspberry. Deep ruby color with patches of a swirly white head. Alcohol present amongst caramel and aforementioned fruit flavors, light roastiness and chocolate. Very nice. Thin but assertive palate. Solid all around. Cavie (1503), Fort Worth, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2008 On tap at the brewpub; surprsingly this was my favorite on the night. Poured a dark, almost reddish brown with a decent amount of head. Aroma was caramel and roasted; bit of chocolate. Flavor was very drinkable for the style with a nice blend of chocolate, caramel and fruity malts. Good for the style.
