flavor is soft, blended, very good, vanilla, wood, spices, fruits, it all is so mixed up and balanced and soft that it’s a big pleasure to drink. very tasty. You don’t notice the 10% abv at all. finish is a bit more bitter and alcoholic than the flavor, but it suits the beer very well. tokyogoat (576), San Diego, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Bottle, thanks Keith! Pours cloudy gold/orange, with a white head. Aroma is oak, yeast, and some spices. Flavor is fruit, spices, yeast, alcohol, oak, and a little bit of hops. Medium to heavy body. None of the flavors come jumping out at you, but the subtlety of all of them together make this work for me. wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA
