| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 12, 2006 Dark brown pour, thin, sparse creamy light brown head.
Aroma is mostly roasted grainy beer.
Flavor adds some sweet, rich coffee with fruit hints. Flavor is better than the aroma, but I wish it was a little richer, especially since it is Bells.
