| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Poured dark brown with very large amount of tan foamy head that lasts. Aroma reminded me of those chocolate nips candies with a bit of rum and dark cherries. Flavor is creamy, bitter chocolate, with some fruity base and a rummy finish. Overall, very enjoyable. b33r (363), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Strong dark malt aroma, little sour twinge, doesn’t seem like a flaw, just kind of seems like it was turned to 11. Dark ruby brown when held to the light, small tan head. What the? This is 9.5%? I didn’t even think this was more than 5-6 until I read the previous rating. Little creamy, some burnt grain, mostly clean and simple, though at this abv I’m impressed. Good times. BeerBunker (616), Burbank, Illinois, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 8, 2009 12oz bottle. The bottle absolutely exploded when I opened it. Total mess, and it wasn’t even infected. Pours dark red with a foamy tan head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, slight vanilla, and alcohol. taste is of grass, malt, caramel, and nuts. Lingering taste of vanilla of each sip. Big alcohol burn lingers long after each sip. Mouthfeel is very carbonated and watery. This beer is a mess. VAYankee (248), Virginia, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 2, 2009 Dark brown body with a thick offwhite head. Malty, bready and slightly fruity aroma. Sour fruit, overly sweet flavor (very disappointing).
