| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 21, 2009 A bottle from a mixed 12 pack, this was one of the better offerings. A pleasant smell like dried leaves in the fall and light breadiness makes this a comforting ale. A slight sweetness in the malt was alright but the subtle texture is what made this stand out. A coppery after taste was not altogether disliked but was annoyingly strong compared to the gentler flavors up front PorterPounder (3147), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
