| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Deep cola brown with low effervescence and a slowly fading tan head. Rather straight burnt grain nose, consideraly roasty, almost powdery and feeling quite dry from it. Minimal blackberry fruitiness is obstructed by the roast. Light bodied and relatively drinkable thanks to its crisp consistency and engaging, if pushed, carbonation. Slight leafy hop finish provides an appreciated deepening bitterness. halfonit (476), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
