| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 7, 2008 On tap at Newport Pizza. Not much of a head but then again the beer is served way too cold. Flavor is burnt tangerines, toast and caramel. The beers a bit boozy, not very balanced and too citrusy. hopdog (5557), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Tap at SDBC. Deep amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma is faintly spicy with some clove and soft earthiness. There is a touch of DMS that is fairly distracting. Flavour is quite sweet with a light toastiness in the middle. As it warms a soft berryish character comes to the fore but there is also a lot of peppery ethanol that brings it out of balance. A bit of bubble gum as well but it never really comes together in any sort of cohesive way. doubleo (1104), San Diego, California, USA

Smells subdued malty sweet. Tastes big and super sweet malty with some spice and some alcohol burn. Tastes sweet ripe fruity as well. Full body, ok carbonation.
