| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 18, 2007 Big rich decadent nose of toffee and caramel covered raisins.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 10, 2007 Brown, clear, no head. Sweet brown sugar dominates the nose. Flavor is mix of brown sugar, molasses, rum and honey, with subtle notes of raisin and prune, Nice mix of flavors throughout, I would’ve like to have had a bit more for further analysys. Nevertheless, very tasty and luxurious. Yep, I said luxurious. GG (1654), NorCal, California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 7, 2007 This is a great beer. A great aroma of caramel, dark fruits, toffee, light spices and bread notes. A rich brown hue in color with nice fluffy off-white head with nice lacing. Flavor is very complex with different notes of dark fruits, molasses, brown sugar, yeast, spicy and toffee all coming at you from different temps. I could keep drinking this all night long. Excellent. moejuck (1172), Ohio, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 26, 2007 Bottle from Stoutlover. Light bourbon, cinnamon, and some baked apple pie in the aroma. Golden brown body with red hues make for a striking appearance. Full palate. Some alcohol up front, followed by very complex mix of tastes--heavy malts, baked apples, light tart tastes and vinuous aspects as well. Very intriguing and BIG beer. badlizard (2373), Berkeley, California, USA
