| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 14, 2009 Growler from brewery. Pours a clear, dark brown with amber hues. Average tan, frothy head with good retention and excellent lacing. The aroma is a faint, sweet maltiness. Flavor is a molasses kind of sweetness followed by a piney bitterness. Medium body. Dry, slightly warming finish. A perfect choice as I just finished shoveling snow. swoopjones (1905), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 13, 2009 On draft at the brewery, poured dark brown with no head. Aroma was malty, sweet. The beer had a nice maltiness to it, balanced nicely by hops with rich caramelly notes. Seemed like a naked version of the mad elf to me, no honey and no cherries. Simple, but well brewed, this is a solid beer. hopdog (5576), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 10, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a deeper orange color, almost brown, with a smaller sized of white head. Lacing left on the glass. Aromas of earthiness, caramel, toffee, toasty, and somewhat nutty. Tastes of caramel, toffee, nutty, doughy, and pine. A little fruitiness in the tastes as well.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber/brown with a small tan head. Aroma of toasted and sweet malts. Flavor is rather earthy and malty initially, with a salty, sort of like a hearty chicken soup, finish. An interesting beer but I didn’t get much hops from this.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2009 This is pretty good stuff. I like the style. My first crack at one of the scratch series. Finished a 6 of this over Xmas. Pretty hoppy I think, but flavorful and easy going down. This is a disjointed review. I apologize.
