| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Bottle (12oz). Clear amber, average fizzy-foamy off-white more-or-less lasting head. Grainy and sweet aroma, rye, oats, light herbal hop bitterness, a little tart fruit in the background - very clean and fresh-smelling, even as I rate this in mid-March. Taste follows, with more pronounced fruit, apricot, tangerine and even a bit of prune, finishes sweet and malty, hardly any sign of the 7.7%. Thick and still mouthfeel, wants to evince some astringency but it’s moslty slick and sweet, a fairly long almost cloying finish - actually a very nice winter beer. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2007 Pours a clear burnt orange color with minimal head and no lacing. Sweet malty aroma. More of that sweet malt in the taste, it blends very nicely with the spicy Noble hops. Pleasant sweet/spicy finish, with more than a passing glance at the hops.
Full bodied, clean, smooth carbonation. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
