| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 26, 2009 Bottle, purchased at Meenan’s in Dunedin. Pours a rich looking near-black with a very dense thick tan head that displays excellent retention and generates thick beautiful lace. Very fudgy aroma. Flavours of chocolate liqueur and underlying coffee. Sweet with a mildly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is incredibly silky and perfectly carbonated. Remarkable flavour and structure for a lower ABV beer. I thought this was much better than the majority of ratings I see here! liinis (721), Helsinki, Finland
