| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 19, 2008 Poured a black color with a very small off white head. Aroma was really bland, couldnt quite pick out anything besides some nots of spices and yeast. Flavor was a bit roasted, with some of the general notes of wheat beers you would expect. Just a strange bland beer. JFURYCAT (791), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Pretty quaffable but otherwise un-notable with a bit of a watered down wheat taste along with licorice and chocolate tones.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 18, 2008 On draft, could have swore this was a porter, but oh well. Not much of a smell, light body with a strong caramel roast flavor, mixed with some carbonation. Not much else. bigrond (1049), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 16, 2008 I enjoyed this beer. It looked and felt like a porter. Worth a try . . . AllAboutStout (605), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2008 On draft at the Comet.
Pours very dark brown in color. Cola like without any head at all. Smell is heavy black malts and a bit of roast. The malts really shine in the flavor as well. Plenty of black patent malt and a bit of a roasty porter finish. This was a pretty decent beer, and it’s highly drinkable. FROTHINGSLOSH (2010), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 9, 2008 Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub this beer poured a medium black color with a small dark tan head. The aroma was vague sour and tangy malts. The flavor was tangy, sour, lightly hoppy and just rather off. It really tasted like this beer was trying to be several things and failing horribly at doing anything. JohnQPublic (387), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 9, 2008 Draught @ Blind Tiger, into tulip. Pours hazy, dark brown w/ red highlights showing through, rocky tan head that lasts awhile and lots of lacing. Nose is spicy yeast, clove, with hints of citrus zest, and just a hint of roasty malt and even cocoa. Taste really is an odd combo of roasty and wit flavors - the yeasty characteristics of the wit leave the roasty tasting oddly off, with a dry, yeasty finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. An interesting experiment, but definitely not my favorite BR beer. bu11zeye (5510), Frisco, Texas, USA

Aroma of roasted malt, coriander, licorice, clove, caramel, and cocoa. Flavor of roasted malt, sweet caramel, light licorice, chocolate, and lactic.
