| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 6, 2005 Bottle. Nose is strange with some mustiness and maltiness to it. Pours with a decent head, but it leaves as quickly as the Indy Colts can score on you. Amber color with a bit of murk, but not cloudy. Taste is interesting without the sweetness of the malt being immediately evident, instead a bite of carbonation and some spice and slight hop along with a musty, wet rag flavor that isn’t really unpleasant, just not great. It sweetens a bit and then bites the back of the tongue. Medium body and heavy carb finish this one out. Not bad, not great, just average. badgerben (3600), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 30, 2005 Dark red color with a thin head. Grainy aroma. Bitter malt taste with a dry finish. Nothing of note. Nejhleader (929), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2005 Had a draft of this. Seemed kinda thin, a sort or an orangish taste and aroma. Not the greatest beer. blankboy (3204), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 21, 2005 2 bottles shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev & myself. Pours a dark amber with an average size white head. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt mixed with honey. The flavour follows the aroma but is a dissapointment: it’s a little stale and just doesn’t taste that good -- there’s something in there I don’t care for that much. ukoolaid (572), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 20, 2005 Bottle. Clear copper with small white head. Sweet malt, caramel, with some spice in the finish. Not bad for a marzen like beer. GregClow (2496), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 19, 2005 Two bottles shared with blankboy, tupalev & HogTownHarry - courtesy of blankboy & tupalev. Dark amber with a medium white head. Aroma of generic malt and buckwheat honey. Flavour follows the aroma pretty closely. Seemed a bit stale to me - not sure if it was an old bottle, or just a characteristic of the beer, but I didn’t really dig it. tupalev (2617), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 19, 2005 Shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and GregClow - I brought it. Dark orange, small white head. Sweet dark honey aroma. Odd sweet malt taste. Unbalanced, medium mouthfeel. Touch of maple syrup. Very similar to the F & M Harvest Ale made for the Bow and Arrow - the right Fall flavours are there, but just have not been put together properly. Ok, but not great.
