| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 9, 2007 In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours brown, perhaps a very dark amber, with a bountiful fluffy beige head. Nice mild roasted aroma. Flavor is very pleasant with roasted malt, but also a delicious berry taste. Really a surprise for me, as I did not think I would like this as much as I do. Smooth and delightfully easy to drink, it has character owing to the finishing tartness that was a treat.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 14, 2006 Wow, what a coincidence. Murph and I were just discussing 6-9-06, and I see that this one has a 69 overall score. Bottle from Super Saver. The pour is a nice deep brown with a 2-finger khaki head. Aromas of heavy corn flakes greet the nose, with some hazelnuts, grapey fruits, and a lot of brown sugar and cacao notes. The palate is not real complex, and a bit of a letdown after the great look and smell, with flavor hints of tart grapey fruit, some cereally malt, and some cacao, nuts, and brown sugar hints.

Sweet caramel-malt aroma, a little plummy fruit. Mostly caramel in this approachably sweet palate, maybe some stewed prunes. Nothing cloying-- very well-balanced. Excellent. thornecb (1808), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
