| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 2, 2004 In the bottle at the Dundee Dell. This is a big beer with a big mouth feel. Very fruity and berry-like. Strong alcohol burn as it should be. Dark crimson color with an ivory head. Sure, it’s sweet, but the sweetness is easily masked by the strength of the malt character.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 18, 2005 Wow. The aroma certainly is complex as the description says. There is fruit and malt, also roast beef and caramel. Dark red, with a large off white head that falls down, lacing the glass. One of the nicest looking beers I have had. Flavor is mostly malt. There is some dried fruit and sugar. Very full bodied. An excellent beer, and a great value. ante (2960), Stockholm, Sweden

Pours out in a pale brown amber appearance topped with a rich lasting off-white foam. Fruity and yeasty aroma of figs, sweet cherries, almonds and black currant red apples with undertones of chocolate, mild black pepper, fudge and brown sugar. Full yeasty flavour of fudge, brown sugar, luxury chocolate, almonds and nuts with notes of crackers and yeast dried cherries. Silky smooth body. Long finish of yeast brown sugar, fudge, figs and milky chocolate.Truly a classy brew, if a bit sweet. Another great beer from Cooperstown
