| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 19, 2002 Okay, I love stouts and porters. So bars, stores, etc are always recommending things. While I love their advice, I believe they remiss on this one, but it might have been due to limited selection. The color looked good, if a bit lighter for a bock. The taste had a chocolate/sweet taste to it. But the overall body and mouthfeel(too tangy?), just hurt my enjoyment of it.

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 14, 2002 This is the best beer by far from this brewer. I had the winters Ale not to long ago and it was, so bitter that I thought the beer had spoiled. aracauna (2387), Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2002 The beer looked and tasted a flat. The nose had some definite maltiness and a strong hoppiness to it. It surprised me then, when I took a big sip and was hit by this huge malty, roast, chocalately, toffee burst of flavor. It’s followed up by a bit of citrusy hops, but not as much as you would expect from the smell. I would have guess that this was a porter if it had not been for the name and the fact that it did taste a little cleaner than an ale. The weird thing is that you lose a lot of the roasty chocolatey flavors as it warms up. That’s unusual since it usually brings flavors out. Drew (2409), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 1, 2002 thinly effervesent pricklyness, followed by medium thick, sweet malts, reminded me of coffee with cream. ended with a lightly bittered sweetness. A-OK! tbookman (618), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2002 Very enjoyable. Slight sourness but with really nice malt balance and just a hint of smoke. This was an excellent brew. hennes (932), Fountain, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 25, 2002 About equal parts sour, cidery notes and richer nutty tones. Neither taste is unpleasant, but both are smaller than I’d like. The best thing about this beer is its label, which features one of my favorite scenes - a smoking sugarshack and pails on the maples.
