| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2008 This beer tastes like beer. The color seemed like a super dark brown with a thin head but holding it up to the light made it look cranberry red. smelled of light sweetness. tasted very roasted barley with a bitter finish and another taste that was like the charred bits of some sweet pork ribs. sweet but burnt. xibalba89 (147), New York, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2008 Pours a dark, almost black, brown with a slight head. The aroma is full of blueberries... really reminds me of the blueberry beer that dogfish head puts out. Ther is also the usual dogfish yeastiness. The flavor is very similar to the palo santo, but with the dark fruit and nut character from the aroma. The finish is a little spicy in the dogfish style. A really superb beer. ditmier (1116), Boise, Idaho, USA

One finger of head which dissipated in a minute or so. Not much aroma but slightly hoppy. Taste was very smooth, slightly bitter with sweet molasses. There was a hint of alcohol but nothing major. Very satisfying beer. I would definitely drink again. rugbydude05 (302), Kew Gardens, New York, USA

The flavor is strong but in a very good way. Has a medium body and perfect carbonation.
