| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a red body with a yellow off white head. Nutty chewy, toasted malt notes, bitter with some roasted malt, and light butterscotch. Earth y dry bittering finish. Decent.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2009 12oz Bottle. Rather aromatic caramel nose, pungent apple, and juicy brown sugar. Unexpectedly strong. Nice. Pours a beautiful tall caramel-tinted amber-sienna, with an off-white head. Flavor is less interesting. The punchy caramels lay back to some thinness, the classic dry Irish yeast twang and some heavy minerals. A good kick of hops throws a slight twist in the backend. The ingredient flavors are clean and forward, but nothing special. Solid brewing, just not a recipe worth pursuing, probably. tgncc (845), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Typical irish Ale experience. The is caramel, malty, vegetable. The appearance is true to the style, red, clear, white head. The flavor is like the aroma, caramel, vegetable, toasted, decent. The finish is a light noble hop bittering, decent clean finish. Enjoyable, sessionable, but not remarkable. nearbeer (1880), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 9, 2009 Bottle, thanks to lithy for sharing. Amber with a nice ring of foam. Caramel and cocoa on the nose. Flavors of caramel, cocoa and some toasted nut. Near-medium body is smooth and roasty-dry. ljay6880 (163), , Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 19, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour is deep caramel with one finger of off-white head. Nose is malts, caramel, and a light roasted smell. Taste is exactly as it smells. This brew is mediocre, but I can’t say it fails in any category. It is also quite sessionable. VTHopHead (934), Barre, Vermont, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Bottle - Poured a dark reddish brown in color with a small tannish head that quickly faded. Aroma is malty with caramel, brown sugar, nuts and a slight amount of flowery hops. Flavor is also quite malty with lots of caramel and toffee. Hops not that apparent. Finish is slightly sweet with plenty of toffee. Good... not great... drinkable...
