| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 24, 2007 Was this White Knight or Black Knight? I think their chalkboard said "white." Anyway. A black beer. It looks like a stout. Well carbonated. The aromas has butter and mild spices including coriander. Flavor has unprocessed wheat and light roasted malt. Rough on the palate; it has a rustic feel to it. Strong clove finish. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2007 I will echo JK--at the brewpub they had this labeled a "white night". Very interesting beer. Dark black, clinging head. Interesting flavors, suggesting of curry (that coriander, perhaps). It works interesting things with food pairings. Worth a try.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Black color with a thick head. Strong orange aroma and taste. The flavor is backed up by plenty of wheat and a lot more sweet malt than normal for a Witbier. A bit of roastedness on the finish, which I suppose would be expected for a black wit. The coriander is there, but not screaming. Nice take on the style. BDR (2167), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
