| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2003 Orange-amber head, very slight haze; creamy, amberish head, irregular, going down lacey. Nose of caramel, toffee... and mint. Hops as in noble. Outspoken bitter taste. Spicy and bitter hops. Bit of burnt caramel. Medium-bodied. Bitterness keeps hanging around, but finish yields again some sweeter malts, taste of sugared fruits. Nice. 's Got a bite, but a tad unrefined. rauchbier (3000), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 5, 2003 Bottle conditioned. Chestnut red, excellent thick creamy white head with good condition and same lacing. Caramel malt aroma with some faint apple notes. Lots more spicy malt in the mouth with some nuttiness and a fruity yeast note. A little rough around the edges in the finish with the yeast bitterness taking over, but right at the end a malty sweetness returns.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Apr 16, 2003 The first thing you notice is the alarming lack of any head, but there's still a light carbo to the beer itself. This is a maltoriented brew with very little hop action. I found it one-dimensional.
