| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 18, 2009 Updated: Aug 19, 2009Pours a dark brown, beige head dissapated quickly on my bottle. Has a sweet malt aroma that reminds me of butter rum flavored candy. The flavor is very sweet and rather complex. Mostly it’s a rich, buttery, caramel candy sort of flavor that comes through for me, and a bit of something resembling maple too. Finishes with an alcohol bite and some smokiness. Has a very full mouthfeel. Ibrew2or3 (2724), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours bright amber with thin off white head. The aroma is malts and dark fruitiness with a background of booze. The taste is smooth and rich with chewy rich malts mixing with pears, prunes, ripe cherries and dates. It moves into a bit of earthiness as the finish draws closer. Very nice superposition of flavors. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

Appearance: Beautiful deep ruby color, mostly transparent. Flavor: Sweet sugary caramel, hints of orange; not really much else. Palate: Medium-light, thin and a bit watery! Overall: OK to decent, but nothing to write home about; a bit disappointing overall.
