| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 2, 2008 (Bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/w target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Pours dark iced-tea brown with some ruby/amber highlights. Very tall khaki head in my willibecher. Aroma of crystallized caramel with light chocolate/cocoa and perhaps licorice or molasses. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium-full but slightly loose. Flavor is light bittersweet chocolate/cocoa accompanied by a tea-like flavor. Light-medium bitterness overlays transitioning to a tea-like bitterness through finish. Tea-like quality is reminiscent of Anchor OSA ’03 which was a great beer. This is a good beer although could be a little more malt-heavy. Swalden28 (1510), McKinney, Texas, USA

Aroma is heavy of caramel and very sweet to the nose. Flavor starts off of caramel, raisin, a little bit of a dark chocolate bite and finishes sweet with a coffee undertone and dry. Medium body with some fine carbonation to really hold the flavor for a little bit. Good beer to curl up with after work. jgb9348 (2502), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA

Aroma of toasted malt, coffee, nuts and a bit of concord grapes. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty malt flavour with some caramel sweetness and a faint bit of metal.
