| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2003 TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 65. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Melbourne Florida. This brew poured a large head of fine to medium sized light brown colored bubbles that left behind a uncarbonated transparent light brown colored body. It had a very nice brown malt and caramel aroma with a smooth mouthfeel with a even medium thickness body and no bite. The flavor was uncommented on but noted as above average. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hazy, dark brown red body with a quick creamy light tan head. Flavour holds sweet hints of candied chocolate, rich and nutty as promised. Medium body has some oomph. Nicely balanced roast/chocolate/Irish ale yeast, no surprise this won a silver medal (plus it has a funny bum label). hopscotch (5549), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

Well-balanced, chocolaty flavor with strong notes of spent, dark roasted grains and chocolate malt. Moderate hop bitterness with a rumor of tart acidity. Medium-bodied and creamy with middling carbonation. Finishes chocolaty, lightly bitter and dry. jcwattsrugger (5581), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Pours a hazy dark brown reddish color with a thin off-white head. Aroma was faint but mostly malty and nutty. Flavor was sweet malt and other grains with some wet dog or barnyard type flavors. Generally light to medium body with a strange finish. Something was off with this beer, not sure what.
