| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Clear deep mahogany pour with a large frothy tan head (4-). Sweet aroma, roast cereal grain and chocolate, floral and dry. The taste follows - sweet, but plenty of woody bitterness to even it out, more dry cocoa than in the nose. Light body, mild carbonation, slight alcohol warmth in the quick finish - sort of a powdery dry chocolate finish. Nice lighter winter drink. spkldhenlvr24 (462), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA
