| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Real solid winter brew. Alcohol is very well hidden--I would never guess this was anywhere near 8%. Roasty, sweet-ish flavor, very balanced. Smell and appearance are run-of-the-mill for winter ales. Nice mouth. thewolf (5827), Kolding, Denmark
