| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Reddish color with a creamy head. It was really smooth surprisingly, considering that the ABV is 7.8%. Overall a good smooth beer. joeyplush (337), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Rich ruby-reddish color with a creamy off-white head and decent lacing. Aroma of rich hiops and oak. Taste is remarkably smooth. Nice hoppy palate which is balanced out with a subtle enough oak taste. I was most impressed by the smoothness of the beer, having had the standard AB, the oak has a nice calming effect on the overall character. DuffManSW (296), Riverside, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 9, 2009 Bottle from Bevmo.... Pours a dark amber color with a one finger head...Aroma is kinda hoppy but mellow nothing really sticks out or is overpowering... Flavor is kinda sweet yet oh so bitter. I can still taste the bitterness. It kinda reminds me of that dark chocolate bitter that lingers...Palate is smooth with good carb... Overall this is a really good beer but I prefer the regular AB.
