| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Updated: Mar 31, 2007Poured a clear, dark amber color with a small, light tan head that left faint lacing on the glass. Aroma of nuts, floral hops, light spices, clove, toffee, and cherries. Taste was earthy, toasty, some caramel, dry, bitter, faint metal, black cherry, and moderate alcohol in the finish. Chewy mouthfeel, yet bone dry. I hope there is a way to try this in about 6 months, I love that Bavay! JB175 (1664), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 3, 2007 Draft @ Phoenixville. Darker amber color with small white head. Aroma is a pleasant, subdued mix of earthy-smoky malts, some slightly sweet fruits, and just a bit of hops. Taste was a nice complex mix of smoky grains, sweet - almost bock-like malts, and a good deal of other complex flavors + sticky hop goodness to top things all off. Wow - I hope other incarnations of this are brewed by Sly Fox or someone...... highpoint (23), lansdowne, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 7, 2007 Sly Fox Phoenixville. Clear, warm-metallic golden-amber body with an ample pale head. Aromatic malty flavor with rich notes of fruit, nuts and caramel, plus light yeasty highlights. Prominently sweet in the flavor with well-integrated Munich malt signatures and notes of lightly toasted bread crusts. Moderately strong hop bitterness. Comes together very smoothly. I dig the dude’s beer.

Deep coppery pour with 1-finger or so off-white head that didn’t stay around long. The aroma was caramel malty, somewhat fruity, with slight candi sugar and floral hints. The taste was caramel malty, on the dry side, with floral and spicy notes coupled with some fruit hints and some honeyish notes. hopdog (5609), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 1, 2007 Appears a semi transparent amber with a small, off white head that slowly fades out. Small amounts of lacing are scattered around the glass.
Smell is of caramel, earth notes, raisins, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla cream, cherrywood, light citrus, some gentle rubbery funk, and mild roasted cocoa nib notes buried deep in the background.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with gentle spicing and a mix of layered flavors.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, light amounts of CO2, dry with wood like hops finishing off the enjoyment of this well done brew.
