Nose has a strong malt character with some wood and earthiness to it. Again, earthy malts balanced with hops and a bit of spice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Medium-full body. The palate is tangy and spicy. Nice. Crit (2409), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2002 Pours a cloudy brown, average head, fair lace and a malt nose, hints of caramel and yeast? Start is sweet, middle is moderate, the finish is quite acidic, with moderate carbonation. A wee bit of hops in the slightly dry finish. Interesting, can’t say I would like to be stuck with it all winter, but drinkable
