| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bottle. Moderate cookie for the malt, citrusy hops, heavy must and mold for the yeast, with wood, vinegar and toffee in the background. Head is small, fizzy that thins to wispy with larger bubbles, off-white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear dark copper. Palate is medium, watery but a little slick, with a lively carbonation and a dry finish. Very bold and deep, my brother said this was off compared to the last one he had, so I’ll give it a re-rate when I get a chance. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Pours pale amber colur with tan head. Nose has a delightful candied character, almost reminding me of holiday candy cane peppermint. On the palate the malt comes through with a biscuity quality, perhaps black tea, and a soft candied sweetness. Easy drinking.

Poured hazy dark brown color with medium light brown creamy head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Medium toasted malt and wood aroma with a fruit tone. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy fruit and wood flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate to long duration.
Good interesting brew. Silphium (2160), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2009 Muddy, pulpy orange-red body, thin off-white ring of carbonation. Yeasty nose, chalky, with sour oak and leafy must. Sour body with peachy fruit notes, caramel, and musty, cobwebby oak. Interesting. HomeBrewHawk (286), De Soto, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2009 550ml bottle served in a snifter. Bottle conditioned. Poured a clear amber with a finger of tan head. Malty aroma with some carmelized sugar and a bit of hops. Medium to full bodied. Malt predominates with dark fruit. Some hops in the finish. Just a hint of the oak. I had really high expectations for this as I am a big fan of British beers, but I found it a bit lacking and overpriced. dchmela (1473), Orlando, Florida, USA
