A slight alcohol presence. Really nothing for me to make a comment on. This beer really didn’t have much to comment on. jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 11, 2005 Bottle: Finally i got my hands on some this after anxiously waiting for the last few months. Beautiful dark mahogany color; once held against light turns to a amber hue that is clearly visible through. Head is a thin cushy foam thats a light tan but will eventually break up. Nose has an upfront clove aroma with some cinnamon as well, and I also can get a whiff of toffee and malt. The flavor has a moderate amount of malts used and has a undeniable hop spiceness. Found this VE much more darker and better in flavor than the 04. I will age and re-rate in a few months and see how much more it calms down and my ratings change. markwise (1187), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA

This beer pours a deep reddish-brown with an aroma of caramel, sugar, molasses, and butter cookies. The flavor is equally flavored and sugary with a hint of bitter at finish. Thoroughly enjoyable.
