Nice enough looking beer,nice mahoganycolour with a large frothy tan head.
the aroma as expected i mainlly malty, slight cocoa aroma, milky .
taste is very malty..in a semi sweet kind of way, slight butterness in the end.
Mouthfeel is rather pedestrian and gets sort of watery near the end.
Its drinkable enough, but not appetizing at all.
I am really dissapointed with this beer from one of my favourite brewers..its very lackluster and to be frank..boring.
And its at least a dollar overpriced at $3.99 a bomber.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2005 Well, dark amber, almost brown. Foamy head and spotty lacing. Roast and bitter aromas. Some chocolate with an almost earthiness. Nutty. The flavors shows the same qualities. Nutty and roast malts with floral and bitter hops. Tangy palate finishes nutty and bitter.

Nice and malty, decent hop bite, not a favorite, but good none the less.
