| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 10, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown which appears more red when held against sunlight. Moderate, fairly creamy, tan head that lasted through mid-glass and left a layer of foam with each sip. Light aroma of malt. The flavor is predominantly malt with a bit of brown sugar flavor without the sweetness. Some light bitterness at the finish. Enjoyable. wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2009 On tap at Lost Abbey during 3rd anniversary party. Amber color. I did not like this beer. Some roastiness, but at an acceptably low level. Leans dry. Some phenolics I didn’t like so much. Also some other off flavor I detect in many beers i don’t like, but I can’t put a name on it. Sometime I call it vegetal. It could be acetalhyde. I’m not sure. SuperDave70 (1158), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2009 Deep brown-red pour with a small foamy tan head. Nice malty aroma with caramel, brown sugar and toasted nuts. Flavor is very nice as well. Nice light fruitiness on the finish. A very solid lager. mreusch (743), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2009 22oz. bomber with thanks to BOLTZ7555 for another great bonus! Pours a much darker than expected caramel brown with a moderate tan head. Aroma is fresh coffee, melted caramel, toffee and light chocolate. Flavor is toffee, caramel, lightly toasted grains, and some fresh fruit on the finish. Drinkable, but there’s a misplaced aftertaste that becomes distracting. Thanks again Jason! ratman197 (3262), Arvada, Colorado, USA
