dark yellow, thin head, good lace, light floral hop aroma, nice malt flavor followed by a lasting bitterness, a little bit of tart cardboard character, sigh

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 13, 2007 Bottle. Amber colour. Very tasty brew with good maltiness, caramel. some hops, bit nutty. Nice malty caramel finish. Very good indeed. hopdog (5590), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 4/20 | Jul 12, 2004 Initial smell reminded me of a sweaty jock strap (not that I would know what one smells like). Plain and bland tasting. Their web site says this is their year ’round flagship brew - based on this one, I’m not looking forward to tasting any others by them. Could I have gotten a bad bottle or could it have been the Dogfish 90 minute IPA & Victory Storm King Imperial Stout I had before tasting this one - may have had an influence on taste, but could barely finish it. bu11zeye (5495), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 19, 2009 (12oz bottle) Pours a clear copper body with a spare white head. Aroma of nuts, toasted grain, and wet hay. Flavor of nuts, grass, caramel malt, and toasted grain. CaptainCougar (5493), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 5, 2003 Copper orange with a light tan thick head. Thin malty aroma. Body is reminiscent of an American standard micro. Bland, bitter and boring. hopscotch (5483), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 5, 2003 Updated: Aug 20, 2007Rating #800... Slightly hazy, copper-colored ale. Medium-sized, creamy, khaki head. Very good retention and nice, thick lacework.
The nose is of vanilla, milk chocolate, toffee and a whisper of evergreen.
Malty and beefy flavor with a really nice hop balance. A touch earthy as well.
Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and light carbonation. Astringent finish. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Jun 2, 2004 Bottle. An altbier? this was somewhere in the realms of the Alaskan Amber. i.e, a pile of crap. Smelt quite nutty, but there was an overwhelming smell of pee. Stale nutty caramel flavours, really dissapointing.
