| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 16, 2008 It pours a dark amber color with just a little head. I had no lacing down the glass and the head was gone in a couple seconds.
I thought the smell was the best part. A lot of sweetness in the smell with some malt in the background. There’s a lot of caramel coming through in the smell. I really like it.
The taste is sweet with a little malt. There’s a lot of carbonation and not a lot of bitterness. This is mild for a lot of amber ales out there. Not really a strong flavor.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Enjoyed this beer from the growler while in MA. The beer had a nice copper-amber color that was mostly clear, and a smaller white head with modest retention. Nice caramel malt-dominated aroma with some grainy/earthy hops and some light fruit scents too. Good, sweet and malty flavor, with mild sour qualities. A wetter beer with a rich, full mouthfeel and average carbonation. ElGaucho56 (393), USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 1, 2008 Pours a dark reddish-amber with very little head. Nose is slightly fruity and vinous, strangely like a watered down old ale, with a note of woody hops. Biscuit malt and dry berries start off the somewhat thin palate, before moving to an herbal, mild hop finish. Not too bad. Rune (2848), Tromsø, Norway
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 1, 2008 Cask, third pint at GBBF. Ring of fragile foam over a dark brown body. Vague smell of berries. Plain malt-fruity character. Rather anonymous. Soft, medium bodied (06.08.2008) MesandSim (5941), London, Greater London, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 24, 2008 A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF. Standard amber looks with no head. Sweet caramel malt dominates with some faint spice and nice citric hoppage. Delicate but reasonably lengthy finish. So so. cgarvieuk (4212), Edinburgh, Scotland
