Aroma of caramel, fruit, smoked malt and yeast. Flavor was extremely nice. Smoke, sweet malt, fruit, alcohol with some earthiness in the finish. The flavor lingered for a while and the palate had some coating elements to it. Very nice beer. JohnC (2288), Mission Viejo, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 7, 2005 This beer was excellent. It had a great head and sophistication. The aroma did not wow me but the taste made up for a general lack of power from the initial sniff. It was just released this past week so I think it just might need a little time to grow. It was fairly sweet and had what I call a "medium sized headache bubble." Very good beer! One of Taps Best!! unclebleen (620), California, USA

Poured a nice caramel burnt brown color with a nice white head that said drink me! Aroma is nice and sweet but not overly so...just the right amount of sweet and spice. The flavor is very good. A nice sweet smoothness paired with an earthy bitterness that really works for the style. Body is medium and pleasant. Really good beer. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
