| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 24, 2003 Thia brew poured from a beautiful white with black speckles ceramic bottle create a small head of mostly diminished off-white colored finely sized bubbles that left behind a transparent uncarbonated brwon colored body and a good lace. The aroma was that of a nice mild brown malt and dough while the mouthfeel was tingly and vinuous yet smoothened in the finish. The flavor was warming with notes of brown malt and mild vinuous sweet dough. MartinT (5080), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 5, 2003 Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is light brown. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, molasses), lightly hoppy (herbs), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with a note of dates. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Somewhat unfinished smelling, not much to counter the sugary sweetness.
