| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 30, 2009 Pours a chunky opaque brown with a large tan head. Aroma is a little weaker than I’d hoped for. Aroma does have spice, yeast/bread, and generic fruit, just not robust at all. Flavor is good though: Yeast and malts quickly greet your taste buds upon first sip, then everything fades away to a nutty finish. Rich, hearty mouthfeel. Overall, very good minus.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2009 gusher. cloudy brown, thick foamy yellow-brownish head.
very malty aroma, a bit of sourness, with candied fruit -- peach, apricot, apple -- and alcohol.
flavor is more balanced, fruit salad and candy throughout, with a very dry yeasty finish. still a bit too much sweet malt though.
nice medium body, dry texture.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2009 11.2oz bottle. Pours a muddy brown body, no carbonation seen. Small frothy beige head quickly retreating to a lasting ring. Aroma was initially chocolate warming up to some big malty, fruity scents. Light carbonation. Really good fruity flavors with a roasted malty balance. Medium bodied. Long lasting aftertaste. Simply put just a great tasting beer. sirpsycho (343), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA

Sweet fruit, malt and a touch of yeast. Semi-sweet fruit, malt and some vague chocolate in the background.
