| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Clean, crisp, chlorine-y smell that does not belie the hops beneath. Unique aroma. Really, smells a lot like a tavern with dried beer on the floor, but I fully mean that in a good way. I’m really pleased with myself because with this beer I’ve finally pinned down the flavor of a particular hops variety: Amarillo. This is a tasty beer. Not a huge fan of cloudy beers visually but if they taste good who cares. jsquire (2123), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 24, 2009 Orange amber color with a slight hazy. Creamy off white head. Honey sweet nose with lots of candied orange rind and some pine. Tastes of old fashioned buscuits with honey. Thick, slick mouthfeel. Lots of hops in here with grapefruit rind, apricot, apple sauce, and a long bitter hop resin finish. It hides the 8.5% very well. Great mouthfeel on this one. Thanks to whomever sent this bottle to me in trade. forsides (87), union, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Bottle, $2.95 at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours an orange-amber with an inch of head. Aroma is chocolate malts and toast. A lot of malt in the mouth along with dark chocolate. Malts definitely overpower the hops. AmEricanbrew (2005), Almost, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2009 poured nice and golden with a nice head. smelled of hops and grain. tasted about the same but a little more boring than expected but i did drink after imperial stout jeff789 (422), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Pours a hazy golden amber with a decent sized white head.... Aroma is somewhat hoppy, caramel malty, slightly fruity with some noticable spiciness... Flavor has some rye in behind a creamy body filled with sweet malts and some hops... A little weighty, creamy, medium full bodied... Aside from the Coffee Oatmeal, Terrapin has fallen a bit short of expectations.... ditmier (1119), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 4, 2009 2007 Bottle - Thanks brentfeesh! - Pours deep orange and conjures up a small off white head...aroma is spicy rye and heat, honey, caramel and citrus follow closely...flavour is initially straight rubbing alcohol, hop resin with a lingering bitterness, pineapple and nail polish remover...harsh stuff...would love to try a newer bottle to compare as they seem to have ironed out some issues...
