| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 13, 2007 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Deep reddish amber color with no head and little gas. Nearly flat for some reason. Brown sugarish grassy aroma. Malty brown sugarish earthy flavor with medium bitter finish. Medium body, regrettably low carbonation. Would be decent if more carbonated.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a reddish hue. Thin, loose off-white head. Mild, slightly nutty aroma, some light malty characters. Decent toasty flavors with a very mild suggestion of roast. Kind of an even finish, with some light sweetness. Decent, but nothing extraordinary. MrBunn (1527), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Bottle. Pour is a dark brown with a medium head that dies back quickly. Aromas are weak... of malt, maybe a touch of peat, dark fruit and chocolate, but not very interesting. Flavor is fairly heavy on the chocolate malt, but a fairly light and sweet chocolate. The sweetness dominates most of the flavors as it transitions into a somewhat earthy/woody finish. Fairly well constructed, but nothing that really shines out to let you feel like you’ve had something remarkable. docsteigs (139), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 2, 2007 Pours clear brown with medium head. Smells of lager, malt with some chocolate in the background. Tastes the same, sweet lager predominating. Finishes with sweet aftertastes. Becomes more complex as it gets closer to room temp. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 1, 2007 Pours a reddish-brown color with a tan head. Aroma is of dark fruits, brown sugar, and some toasted malts. Flavor is of very slight roasted malts, brown sugar, and some dark fruits up front. Finishes with some toasted malts. Flavor was different from the aroma and a little better but not really as good as I was hoping. dp (512), uniontown, Ohio, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Cloudy reddish brown color out of the bottle with a thin beige head. Sweet nose of burnt sugar and toast. The flavor continues that burnt toast astringency, with white sugar, caramel and burnt toffee sweetness. Some berry fruitiness and some grassy hops and puffed wheat in the finish. Maybe a little thin and burnt in the finish. Decent winter seasonal.
