| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Bottled. Poured a deep, healthy brown with a creamy cap of beige head. The aroma picked up rich, toasted caramel and sweeter chocolates with a bit of molasses.. sweet overall, and it masked the booze perfectly. The flavor had caramel, chocolate, and molasses at the core with herbal bitterness and warmth at the back.. nice balance, but not too much exciting/interesting character to it.. still tasty, though. Creamy, heavier carbonation on the palate with lots of sweetness.. again it masked the alcohol well. Best beer I’ve had from these guys, by far. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Feb 20, 2008 On tap at HDG. Doesnt support much of a head. Aroma is like Cocoa Puffs. Flavor isnt is basically the same with the "licking an ashtray" taste. PilsnerPeter (2617), Flushing, New York, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 19, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Pours deep brown with a tan head. The nose is full of roasted dark malt and coffee grinds, kinda dirty. The flavor is overwhelmed with coffee character. The bitterness towards the finish leans toward a metallic feel. Not much character or balance. Braudog (3767), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 18, 2008 Updated: Nov 21, 2009Bottle: This pours deep and dark ruddy brown with a towering pile of foam, rocky, and resilient. The aroma is shy, hard to coax out from beneath the big ol’ blanket, but it hints at dark roastiness. Indeed this goes to the palate with a big rich malt character, some brown sugar and a nice light bittering finish. Bring on some nice roasted pork. (#3328, 2/18/2008)
