| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours mahogany orange-brown with respectable beige head. The aroma is lots of fruity esters-apricot, kumquat, peach, lime- with some lavender, leather, and raisin. The flavor is leather, dried apricots, raisin, and tannin. There’s a mellow, semi-sweet chocolate note to the finish, as well as a bit of herbal bitterness. Pretty good. Snojerk321 (2034), San Diego, California, USA

Sweet malt and caramel on the nose, flavor was very Barley Wine esk but lighter in body....better than I was expecting. hayduke (1690), Eureka, California, USA

From a 12 oz bottle this poured a rich mahogany color with a light tan head and good lacing. Nose of ripe fruit and some citrus and banana.. Very smooth creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is complex with touches of burnt sugar. caramel malts, and wood. Alcohol shows in the finish. Good stuff. TheSponge (281), Lynnwood, Washington, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 23, 2008 Available at various Whole Foods supermarkets. Pours mahogoney brown with lots of white lace, moderate head in pour. Aroma of mollasses and pice, quite boozy. Taste is spicey peppery, and quite drying aftertaste. Cloves, ginger, chocolate malt, about average mouthfeel. A little too spicey to keep drinking. High carbonation. joekfsu (138), Boardman, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dense, dark amber with 3 cm of quickly diminishing off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits, plums. Initial taste is sweet and fruity up front. Taste changes to become more balanced with some licorice and alcohol coming through. Light to medium body, light carbonation, light lacing, and moderate alcohol presence. Overall, my first organic beer and it wasn’t too bad. daknole (3032), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Very interesting take on the syle. I got a bottle at my Total Wine. Nice amber pour wtih a whitish head. Aroma is very toffee, caramel, malt and some good yeast too. Flavor is nutty, sweet, malty, and pretty damn good. Very unique flavor. Not bad at all!

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pour is a deep hazy brown, but loses this as i am finishing the brew. Nose is caramel, graham, yeast, old banana, spice and alcohol. Flavor is initially somewhat unbalanced, but gradually collects itself the more you drink. A pretty good ale.
