| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 15, 2004 This is like two beers in one. Very malty up front (fruity, caramel and a little bit sour). The finish is bitter and hoppy to the point that it makes you forget about the beginning. CapFlu (3483), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Lightly spiced -- molasses, toffee, toast -- with a hint of hop bitterness and a vague peppery overtone. Not bad. SDbruboy (1832), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2003 Bottle. Looks good in a glass, dark brown with red highlights when held to the light and a creamy off-white head. Aroma is like honey roasted malts with abundant winter spices and some floral hops. Flavor is sweet and smooth with a little bite of nutmeg and clove and a bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation make this one an all around pleasant winter ale.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 20, 2003 Really nice color and head. Nice variety and depth in the smells and taste. I enjoyed this and was pleased to find it. I dout I'll run across it again, but wouldn't turn it down. egajdzis (3636), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2003 Poured a reddish copper color with a medium sizes off white head and some lacing. Weak aroma of fruit, malt, and hops. Taste of caramel maltiness, some bittering hops at the end. I tried to find more, but this was just average. Very drinkable however, thanks for hooking me up argo0!
