| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2009 courtesy of Greg Gaughan - pours a cloudy amber-brown colour under a huge beige foam; aroma of caramel, pear and dust; full-bodied and quite sweet, rounded mouthfeel, very long caramelish and almondy aftertaste with light nozes of warming alcohol (which remains very well hidden considering its alcohol strength) Oakes (8115), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Thanks Patrik! Muddy light tan-brown. Surprisingly thick head for such a strong beer. Floral US hop aroma (amarillo?) leans towards perfumey. Some modest sugars also make their presence felt. On the palate, this is a full-bodied brew with dusty yeast, light phenolic notes, bright mandarin hops and wood. Good strong ale. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Bottle, thanks to oh6gdx (Patrik) for sharing. Hazy copper amber, bright and with lots of lacing. Aroma is burly, rusty, with lots of fruit skins, minerals, earthy hops. Smells like a barleywine with a lot of heat that heads straight through the nasal passages and into the brain. High carbonation but nice juicy palate. Lovely flavors, same rich roasty-like burnt tasting beer is nice and tastes better than it smells. Hits the char pocket. Is deceptively smooth. Lovely flavors, and ends up seeming smooth and balanced. oh6gdx (9047), Vasa, Finland

Mediumsized foamy head. Aroma is hops, some grass and some herbal notes as well. Flavour is quite much the same along with some sweet malts and mild yeasty notes. Pleasantly balanced. Big grassy aftertaste. daniele (1738), Italy
