| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 1, 2007 Bottle from after4ever. Pours a clear blackish brown with a thin off white head. Some rye shows up in the nose, along with coffee and chocolate. Medium-light body and mild carbonation. Coffee, caramel and fruit in the taste leading to a crisp finish. Sort of the robust porter of the stout world. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA

Nice sour nose over the top of a dark, cloudy ebony body showing a decent amount of graininess. Not too much on the body side, but the attack show some life, and the flavors swirl well from sour rye through a tangy bitter finish--the storyline is very complete from one thing to the next there. Nothing too bold anywhere, nothing too overbearing, but a nice rich beer showing a strong flavoring of a grain I’m always happy to get my hands on in a well-made beer. oh6gdx (8838), Vasa, Finland

Flavour is strong roasted malts, wet wood, rye, caramel and licorace. Wellbalanced, quite complex, but still very easy to drink. mynameisjonas (206), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
