| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Pours a brownish red, with spotty wet lacing, and a small white head. Molasses and caramel in the nose, maple, brown sugar, and a smooth nuttiness. Flavor is malty, with maple syrup, caramel, chocolate, some Saturday morning chocolate cereal. Thin-bodied, sticky on the tongue. Alcohol is undetected. Not balanced well though, just very malt-driven. Still decent enough. sebletitje (2000), Tampa, Florida, USA

Aroma – Big strong malty aroma lots of nuts in the background.
Appearance – Dark Amber in color, Light head and very hazy.
Flavor – Strong nut brown flavor this was an over the top nut brown with huge alcohol flavor.
Palate – Great Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – A very big beer this should have been split between two people. Too much for one person. Big headache after this beer. Huge malt and flavors.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Pour is dark brown with a fizzy and very short lasting head. Aroma is of artificial sweetener and nuts. Flavor is more artificial sweetener, nuts, some maple syrup, and some toasted malts. Alcohol is hidden well in the front of the taste but appears in the throat soon after. I was really thrown off by the off-taste of that sweetener. Overall, this beer was much to sweet and sticky. Would not buy again. In fact, this beer kind of sucks. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 23, 2008 From a 12 0z botle poured into a snifter. Poured a dark brown with little to no head. I smelled the a sweet alcohol to start with a little nutmeg. On taste I didn’t get the alcohol as much but did pick up some but and maple syrup. It was decent but not great. jcweaver (65), VA Beach, Virginia, USA

It poured a small, off-white lasting head with good lacing. Hazy dark brown in color. The taste was moderately sweet with a hint of hops and a light, sweet finish. michael-pollack (2751), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Dark brown in color with a tan beige thin watery head and no lacing. Smell is light but is sweet subtle roasted malt. Flavor is watery and thin malt - not really very appealing - it is just really thin and not flavorful or bold at all. Some malty rubbing alcohol is picked up in the finish. Not very exciting but not wretched.
