| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2007 Nice and frothy light tan head that reduces quickly but a thin foam lingers. Light carbonation. Dry roasty aroma with some spices and light malts. Dark brown in color with a hint of red. Light strange flavor of sweet and sour malts. Soft flat palate. Slick and oily finish.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2007 ($1.99 12oz. 2007 Bottle @ Total Wine in Kennesaw, GA).
Appearance: Pours a clear dark brown body with ruby-hued edges and a wispy, white head.
Smell: Aroma charged with spices, mostly allspice, but there’s some mace and cinnamon in there as well.
Taste: Mild roasted maltiness and burnt toast flavor with a faint hint of chocolate. A spicy-sweet fruitiness kicks in, as does the allspice zing. Finishes dry with a light lingering spiciness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s alright, but I dare say one’s enough for me per year! xmarcnolanx (793), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 7, 2007 Aroma is dark caramel, bready and slightly spiced.
Flavor is somewhat smoked, but mostly very sweet caramel and spices. Very boring.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 23, 2007 2006 12 oz bottle. Chestnut brown with a thick, creamy tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, nutmeg, and roasted malt. Flavor of ripe plums and raisins in the fore, while bitter chocolate, spice, earth, and a prominent roastiness emerge in the finish. I thought this was excellent.
