| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2007 Bottle: Pours a mahogany color with a thin film of head. The nose is full of plum and spruce; grapefruity hops, light pine and a chewy raisin sweetness from the palm sugar, I’m not seeing vanilla though. The flavor is a bit startlingly dry and resinous with the sticky palm sugar and dusty hop resins. Summit is great, and the simcoe is nice to smell, but the combination is a bit lost in translation. Thanks Jake! EithCubes (2167), Indiana, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Bottle. Sweet and resin-soaked hop aroma with a slight bready trail-off. Dark copper pour edging into mahogany, with a soapy off-beige head. Taste is bitter and resinous, drying out heavily and lengthily. Sugar really isn’t apparent here at all. Earthy, rye-ish accents. Light nuts with even fainter citrus, and a touch of caramel. Mellow, gentle spiciness, mixing well with the grainy notes. Medium body. Very drinkable (actually, quite quaffable!) and tasty, but in the end, this falls into the generic Ami Strong Ale category for good reason. yespr (12406), Copenhagen O, Denmark
