Juuust a touch of chocolate as well. Flavor is nutty with a mild caramel. A light mixture of chocolate, earthy bitterness, and a hint of fruit.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Very dark rose pour. Aroma is of dry nuts. Taste is weaker than expected, with hints of hops and light nut. CanIHave4Beers (917), Des Moines, Iowa, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2009 A very nutty aroma for a very dark ruby red beer. Not a lot of head but the little that is retained sticks around the to bottlm of the glass, leaving just the faintest hints of head. The flavor is very roasty and malty sweet with plenty of nuttiness. But the hops certinally work on the back of the tongue giving this a good balance. There are some weird sourish fruity notes but they don’t get in the way too awful much. Headbanger (1601), Aurora, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 15, 2009 12oz bottle (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a dark amber with a small ring for a head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and a little nutty. Taste begins with malt and nut that continues throughout and on the back end a little chocolate and some very faint alcohol comes in. This medium bodied brew is pretty tasty and definitely a nice pre winter warmer.
