| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 28, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a deeper and cloudy amberish color with a smaller sized off white head. Lots of small suspended floaters. Aromas of caramel, a wet pile of leaves that has been sitting out for a week and a half, and just earhty and musty. Tastes of some bread, caramel, and earthy.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2007 Bottle thanks to RollinHard: Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with a thin-lacing wispy off-white head. Aroma of toasty, grainy German malts with a hint of noble hops and mild tartness. Starts with a touch of caramel sweetness, quickly drying out toward a thinner, semi-tart doughy finish. Almost tastes like it’s in the early stages of an infection, but is otherwise pretty true to style. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA

Smells earthy and citrussy with a hint of residual sugar. Tastes of caramel, light spice and touches of pepper. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Bottle: Dark amber color with very light head. Thse nose is sweet and malty with some up front cherry and raisin and some bready caramel notes in the tail. The flavor is balanced, nice malty body and chewy mouthfeel with some more fruits in the finish. A little sweet, but good drinking. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 8, 2008 Thanks to fly for this one. The pour is deep coppery with off-white head. I got caramel malt, some brown sugar, and some earthy peaty notes in the aroma, with the taste being primarily a somewhat dry heavy Wheaties malty taste coupled with some earthy, nutty, and brown sugar taste hints. daknole (3023), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Bottle from mar, thanks my friend. Amber pour, hardly an head. Has a rancid malt smell and an odd fruit smell. Flavor isnt much better to be honest. I wonder if the bottle I had might have been funky. BMan1113VR (2940), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 1/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2008 Pours with a hazy chestnut color with a quickly dissapearing off-white head. Caramel and corn aroma. Taste is fruity, metallic and bitter with some caramel. Fizze and dry. KAggie97 (2477), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 4/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Nov 10, 2007 Bottle. Pours a rich, deep amber with a semi-lively body. Smells like peppermint mixed with the whiff of ass one sometimes smells after bending over while naked for an extended period of time. Flavor is weak vegetable vinegar with rotten fruit in the finish. Watery palate. Barely drinkable.
