| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Basically black pour with a big tan head and an overly sweet smell to it. Some light smooth roast malt smells as well. Taste was creamy, overly sweet, metallic, and not enough roasted character. Perhaps the bottle was a bit old, but I didn’t see much to go back for aside from the nice appearance and mouthfeel. Cloying, and didn’t have and roasty bitterness to balance it.
