| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 16, 2005 This poured a rich, orange/copper color with a decent off-white head. It’s got a nice, sweet malt aroma, caramel-like. Very smooth & creamy mouthfeel. It tastes of caramel and toffee with a touch of nuttiness. The hops come across in the finish, a nice blending of the bitter with caramel. JPDIPSO (4944), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA

Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. The beer goes well with a cigar. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 28, 2005 16 oz bottle. Gotta love the Sprecher pint bottles...hazy light caramel-amber complexion, unfiltered? with a vast, beautiful off-white creamy head that lasts, and lasts...nose is piny and herbal and a touch peaty...fairly hoppy, somewhat thin body at first, though it develops some nice caramel at midpalate and an odd but not unattractive ashy burnt quality late...dry finish. Odd bird this, and somewhat of a disappointment from this above-average brewer.
