| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2009 Pour: 12 oz bottle to pint glass. Clear mahogany with nice red accents. Rocky beige head, no lacing.
Nose: Cocoa powder, toasted bread, caramel. Rather sweet aroma.
Mouth: Semisweet chocolate, toast, chicory, a little roast. Some piney hops impart a modest but noticeable bitterness in the finish. Light in body, and a bit light in flavor too. Definitely needs a bigger malt profile to keep from being watery. Travlr (727), Washington, Washington DC, USA

Very biscuity, kind of bland. hellbilly (1532), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 5, 2008 on tap at papago... clear woody brown pour with a pillowy light beige head and some horizontal lacing. distinct aroma of baking powder/biscuits with notes of wood, caramel and toasted walnuts. the flavor has an acidity/astringency similar to baking powder as well... combined malt/grain but little to no residual sweetness and a dry slightly spicy finish. there’s a bitterness and coffee-like quality in the aftertaste. light to medium body. meh.
