| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Poured from a bottle into a standard shaker pint. Appearance was a hazy, dark brown. Malty smell with alcohol coming through on the nose. The maple syrup really comes through in the taste, along with some chocolate and a nutty flavor. A nice strong alcohol burn at the finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Brown with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt and dried fruits. Sweet toffee dominated flavour with some alcohol showing. glennmastrange (865), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 27, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt note molasses, moderate resin for the hops, light sweat and leather for the yeast, with hints of tar, maple syrup and solvent. Head is small, creamy but thins to wispy, off-white, has fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color starts murky but settles to almost clear, dark browm with a faint red tint, with a thin amount of tiny particles. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately bittersweet. Palate is medium to full, oily, and has a soft carbonation. This American Strong leans toward the maltier side of good balance. The tastes are bold, but they are not entirely desireable. TheCaptain (559), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 16, 2009 Brewed in the USA..... 4th of July bash. Pours brown in color with zero head. Aroma of caramel, maple syrup and roasted malts. Taste is much of the same !! Mouthfeel is watery, doughy and the finish is not bigger, bolder, just utterly boring. Avoid this Tommyknocker.... :( nqualls (1428), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
