| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2004 Rich golden, almost amber color with a creamy tan head that slowly settles into a landscape of hills and valleys. Body is lightly carbonated and speckled with small bubbles that rise slowly. As the head settles, patterns of intricate lace are revealed around the rim of the glass. Aroma is fresh but sour; malt and yeast dominate the aroma while suble undertones of, alcohol, cherry, sweet fruit, almonds, and a variety of hops appear throughout the nose. Flavor is a bit off. Mostly malt with a bit of hops and a bit of alcohol in the finish. While this beer’s aroma is somewhat complex its palate is not. Overall, this is the kind of beer that I like to try out and then leave for a while. A store shelf oddity, to be revisited some day when I feel in the mood for something different. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA

Maybe I need to try it again, because people seem to like it. The taste was just wierd in my opinion. I really was not into it. The pour and the aroma were much better then the taste.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2004 Bottled. Have had this many times, and I am surprised I have not rated it yet. A mid brown colour with a small head. Hoppy, but not very hoppy, orangey aroma. Fairly sweet maltiness, bitter finish. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 4, 2004 Cask at The Bishops Arms, Malmö. Amber colored with a fine tan head. Bitter hops dominates the aroma with notes of spices and toffee. Full and well balanced. Flavor is also bitter hoppy with a sweet malty middle. Notes of nut and toffee and a long lasting dry and bitter peppery finish. Very flavorfull and tasty. What a pleasant surprise! Hoss (602), Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 3, 2004 I found the malt was the stronger presence. IIf sweet is not your thing this is not the brew for you. I would like to try this one cask conditioned. heemer77 (4312), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2004 Nice dark amber coloring with a little bit of cloudiness. A thin white head on top. Aroma is very malty with cherries. Also has vanilla and some bready hops. The taste is slightly alcoholic. It has a hoppy palate with some pine and a little bit of bread crust. A pleasant and subtle beer. Would make a nice session ale. TheRimmer (483), Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2004 Very odd aroma. Rich perfume or flowers swirled right out of the bottle. Taste was a bold malt presence. Very complex mixing of sweet flavors going on. not sure if it really works. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark
