| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts fairly full and syrupy with some finely dissolved carbonation and a sweet, chewy sticky caramel maltiness throughout. Dries only slightly with some bittering hops before the heavy finish. Seems to be laden with too much malt and not enough crisp hop character, which hurts its drinkability.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 29, 2003 Deep copper red. Nose of wet cardboard and lawn clippings. Is this what broken rake means? Because it smells like a pile of wet leaves. Medium bodied, some slight skunkiness initially, which then turns mellow, and towards the end develops into a wet, sweet, maple syrup flavor, with cedar and honey on the tip of the tongue.
