| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 2, 2005 Bottle: Dark brown pour, tan head diminishing to a thin ring. Well carbonated appearance, loads of sediment collected at the bottom of the glass even with a careful pour. Aroma had a strong funk/must to it (sweat socks), graham cracker, bread, sweet malts. Flavor was of toasted bread, smoke, caramel, funk, raisens, overly sweet and acidic. Overly warming and too much funk. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA

Aroma is dough and dried fruit to go with chocolate and caramel. Taste is similar with some smoke, peat and more chocolate. Some cherry or rasberry flavors are in there also. Its balanced nice enough but there is a slight acidic taste that I’m not into. tmad (93), Dayton, Ohio, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2005 Dark thick cloudy mahogany with very thin indicators of head and small lacing. Nose of sherry, light english hops and malt syrup. The flavor is lightly acidic with a strong malt presence nicely balanced by the hop notes. The finish has a thick body and drinks rather smooth. I like it but there’s some dry notes and overcaramelized things about it I don’t like. Thanks TAR! Tmoney99 (4800), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
