| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2007 Flowery aroma and malty aroma. ? with halogen it’s a ruby brown color; beige head that laces. Starts sweet - but dark fruit more than malt. A bit thin. A burst of spice, but only for a moment. There is a chocolate character, and also a hint of underlying sour. Finishes with some Guiness toasted malt balanced with hop. The lasting impact is mild bitter. It is really good stuff. MrBendo (1044), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2007 Deep brown color, but not quite opaque. Large head which turns rocky and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma of roasted nutty malts, chocolate, and dark fruit. Taste was sweet with a little plum tang. Bitter hops taste towards the end. Medium body. Somewhat sticky texture. The fruit taste seems to make it more like a doppelbock to me. But either way, it’s pretty good. zach8270 (2136), Henrietta, New York, USA
