| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Aroma is very sweet, very smoky & malty. Cloudy brown, minimal head. Very pronounced smoke, but not overwhelming. Very sweet as well, not a hop leaf in sight. Hint of raisin at the end. Aggressive and interesting, a bit over the top for me. bhensonb (4371), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 28, 2008 Rich plummy aroma. Hazy brown color with a beige/tan head that flattened very quickly. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavors are caramel, dark fruit, smoke, and more. It’s very rich and flavorful. Though heat is not noticeable, my body says there’s alcohol here. The finish is something pruney with smoke and light bitter. Quite surprising and palatable. shendrix (478), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 21, 2008 The nose coming off of this deep caramel-colored brew is all darkfruits and brown sugar. The palate is a warming caramel and whiskey flavor, with smoked barley backing. Worth a second drinking. ubamartian (155), Watertown, Wisconsin, USA

Caramel rasin. Undertone of alcohol. Taste of malts and hops is very balanced. Roasted. Finishes dry. Not as good as I would have liked to see. LtJudge (432), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
