| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 27, 2006 Thanks to Matta for this one, and thanks to myself for being the 10th rater, and giving this one a locked-in rating. The pour is dark brown, and looks amazingly deep ruby through my desk lamp, with a 1-finger tan head. Definite 4 for appearance. The aroma is tart fruity, with cherries, berries, some roasty malt, and cereal. The palate is medium, a tad watery for this style, but the flavor is pretty good, with some roasty malt, chocoff, molasses, and nuts.
