| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2007 12 oz. Bottle. The beer pours a clear dark red with a creamy light tan head and soapy lacing.
The aroma is roasty, malty, and somewhat grassy.
The flavor has a lot roast with notes of nuts and bitter- sweet chocolate with a bitter almost astringent bite in the finish. The finish becomes less astringent as it warms but it still has a chalky and unpleasant mouth feel.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 22, 2007 Updated: May 2, 2007Dark brown. Weak aroma. Sorta nutty, hinting at chocolate. Flavor is the same, weak, nutty, chocolate hints. Kinda flat, kinda thin. Still... it’s fairly easy to drink, I might be inclined to pick up six packs on occasion if they sold it here... meh... maybe not tho... brentfeesh (1038), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 16, 2007 A bonus in my trade with JJPM74. Thanks! Pours mahogany with chestnut hints and a light head. Toasted/burnt malt aroma that has a hint of acidity to it. The flavor also has burnt malt and grain with (what seems to me to be) black pat malt. Some charcolish hints. Semi-dry medium body. A fair porter. akaufman (16), Seattle, Washington, USA
