| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Less hops than their ESB, a bit more balanced. Nice overall beer but not perfect. Bit toasty on the malt side, heavy but not too strong. Maybe just a bit thinner than expected but not bad. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 12, 2007 Amber colored with a soft white head. Malty with hints of caramel, and just a hint of spicyness. Dry and alittle thin. Alittle grassiness as well. puboflyons (622), New Hampshire, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Sampled in January ’07. Got a case of this for Christmas 2006. Brown color and aroma of hops. Strong flavor. Not bad but nothing extraordinary. I got through the entire case in about two months. fakepurseninja (792), Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Very rich and bold. Nice roasty malt base that comes in a little thin. Light hoppy essence with a slight spice kick. Dry and enjoyable. I liked this as a cold summer drink - not as a winter-warmer as its not heavy and complex. thenick (746), North Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 25, 2007 Bottle from the Portsmouth, NH brewery. Pours a deep amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, and a bit of a malt characteristic. Taste is the same, though a tad weak for a winter seasonal. fiulijn (7470), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
