| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Prune-apple and strong coriander aroma. Dark brown color with minimal head. Apple, orange, and coriander flavor. Fruity and spicy. nearbeer (1882), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Nearly opaque dark brown with ruby highlights. Medium and lasting, deliciously creamy tan noggin on this one. Nose is spicy coriander and raisins in chocolate sauce. Flavor is similar, with less chocolate than raisin and coriander. Barely noticeable alcohol, and a delicate touch of bittering grassy herbs on the end. Palate is medium-bodied, smooth and just a little more watery than expected. Excellent dessert beer.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 23, 2007 Pours dark brown/black with almost no head. Malty, and the coriander spice is featured and well integrated into the brew. Lemony-citrus hints combine with rounded fruity notes, lightly toasted malts and chocolate to combine for a very interesting and complex brew, worth trying. daniele (1750), Italy

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 15, 2007 330ml bottle. Pint glass. Mahogany with a tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and fruit especially blueberry. Flavor had notes of dark fruit and bourbon and a hint of smoke. Mouthfeel was a bit more thin than I expected. Just a touch of bitterness. Schultsc (486), Henderson, Nevada, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 12, 2007 Poured a clear dark brown-amber with a thin loose head. Spice and earth in the aroma with some malt characteristics. Deep flavor profile with roasted malt, spice, earth, and herbal notes. Lighter in the mouth but still huge and complex and a bit unwieldy which leaves the impression of imbalance. The alcohol is well-masked, however. Overall, quite an interesting beer but not for casual drinking. Ibrew2or3 (2833), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 12, 2007 Poured clear amber with weak off white head. The aroma just jumps out of the glass when poured. Smells like a load of coriander but it isn’t too bright. That aroma seems to mix with a pronounced raisin note as well as lesser amounts of dark chocolate and something vaguely smoky. Interesting flavor with the smooth coriander, a bag full of raisins, dried plums, dark chocolate and hints of smoke. Certainly an interesting combination.
