| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2005 Bottle - big, round, chocolate aroma. Looks like a porter. Large, rocky head. Flavor was a bit disappointing. Not as chocolatey and malty as expected. A touch fizzy - but a nice touch. Good, but the flavor didn’t quite live up to the aroma in my mind. mephisto (1144), Taiwan

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 14/20 | Feb 6, 2005 Pours chocolate-ish. Fluffy, sliky head.V.Subtle malt aroma Tight bubbles. Chocolately, light body. Prefect finish. Just right bitterness, giving a complex, interesting aftertaste. Nicely balanced, a little un-complex on the tounge but very good overall. Thin body is a problem, gives a slightly watery impression. Love anderson valley but this is not up to par. Drinkable.
