| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2006 Black body with a quickly fading small creamy head. Nutty, grainy aroma with extremely mild notes of roast. Lightly nutty flavour with hints of mocha and mild roast. Malty tang in the finish. Average palate is really to thin for a stout but seems to be sort of a appropriate here. Interesting. 7/3/7/3/14-15 ztrvz (218), st paul, Minnesota, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 11, 2006 Bottle. Pours a dark ruby / somewhat see through dark caramel color with a bit of a head, but it turns into mere swirls of tan with a only a slight hint of lace on the edges. Nose is pleasant like roasted coffee and maybe some black olive? Flavor is of slightly burnt toast with vegemite... nice, and it has an aftertaste at the back of the tongue that I would call almost sour, but not unpleasant. I guess the adjective "tangy" which I see was used by RollinHard in another rating was spot-on. I like the beer, but it definitely has it’s own character and it is different than normal stouts. Carbonation is probably a bit too high, but not bad. Medium body. This is another good beer from Bell’s. Why should I be surprised? walleye (879), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA
