Flavor is malty with a subtle hop finish. Palate is creamy with the alcohol hidden well. Not bad but nothing special. Pwn3d (1086), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2008 650ml bottle. A very sessionable american strong ale. Very hard to believe this was 9%, I would have guessed half that. Tasted great. jefcon (1005), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Red and amber in the glass. Aromas are straightforward, hop bite and some slight chocolate, some spice from the hops. Distinctly European hop flavors are a little floral, a little stale. Empty finish, but medium mouthfeel otherwise. Pretty solid and definitely old school. lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA

Spicy flavor with caramely middle and sweetish finish. Fruit juice, light bitter hoppiness, rich. Palate is mild and carbonation is mild. Pretty good but lacks punch.
