| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Thanks to Mikeale via Cellar BIF ’08 (BA) for this beer. Vintage 2006. Dark black if there’s such a thing. Mocha colored foamy 2 finger head fades slowly as the aromas of an insane amount of molasses, dark raisins and prunes. Lots and lots of sticking! Great flavor of viscousy bitter chocolate. Coats the throat like motor oil and sticky candy bars. A very nice balanced mouthfeel with a huge amount of after taste. Molasses and BITTER BITTER chocolate. Very smooth going down. It just sticks in the throat! Just name the occasion where it would be ok to drink more than 1 of these. Damn man. Mikeale, can you get me some more....Vintage ’06 please mr.waiter... Snojerk321 (2034), San Diego, California, USA
