| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2008 11.2 oz bottle-Pours a hazy orangish body with the bottom of the bottle sitting right in the middle and all the floaties looking like they are stuck in Jell-O. Also a nice tight off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, yeast, and candy sweetness. Taste of yeast, alcohol, malt, sweetness, and a dry finish. Not a bad tasting brew. ElGaucho56 (390), USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 7, 2008 Pours a nice burnt sienna with large collapsing soapy white head. Nose is like slightly overripe pear juice, some very saccharine caramel malts, some menthol alcohol aromas. Pretty smooth and full on the palate, starting with strong ciderlike tones and strong oxidized copper character before finishing peppery and warming. Pretty nondescript, but strong. thegreenrooster (1821), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 29, 2008 Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head and lots of yeast on the bottom. Aroma is yeasty and citrus with some corriander. Flavor is dark fruit with a lot of dark candi sugar. I also detect some allspice and orange peel. The only bad thing about the beer is that it says its oak aged but i get none of that. That minor flaw out of the way this is a jim dandy. piscator34 (1121), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Light amber and hazy in colour with spritzy carbonation. Aromas of sweet malts, caramel, yeast, dried apricots, and booze. Full bodied, with more dried fruit, and peppery alcohol notes in the mouth. Moderately spice notes develop later, along with a hint of wood. Kind of run-of-the-mill for the style. EricE (456), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 18, 2008 On tap at Max’s. Hazy pour with a white head. Spicy aroma. Very strange taste. Grassy and earthy with herbs....maybe rosemary or thyme. Bitter finish. Not bad, just weird. dkazuk (247), winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Feb 10, 2008 330ml bottle.
Pours a slightly hazy brown orange with a one finger white head that stays a while. Fruity aroma with some yeast, banana, and wheat notes as well as a sweet coffee toffee scent. The taste holds some citrus and peel in addition to yeast and wheat once more. The alcohol is quite present but I suppose that’s to be expected. Nice for sipping. Pretty good. oh6gdx (8838), Vasa, Finland
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 3, 2008 Bottled. Amber coloured with a huge white foamy head. Be careful when opening, atleast my bottle had lots of preassure when opening, so I got a small fountain going... Aroma is wooden and fruits with some mild herbal notes. Flavour is bitter wood along with yeast, some zestyness and grass. Also some herbs and mild spices present as it warms up a bit. Alcohol shows signs of being there, but not very disturbingly much. bweezy (53), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
