| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 4, 2009 22oz bottle, I think CaptainCougar had this, or did argo0 bring it? Anyway: dark amber color with a creamy head. Fruity and malty aroma with caramelized sugars and berry syrup. Rich caramel malty flavors, some chocolate, light minerals, and an alcoholic finish. Medium, chewy body with medium carbonation. This does a pretty good job of breaking out of the standard Full sail flavors that I generally don’t care for (not sure if its the water or the malt they use) but finishes with too much alcohol to really sit back and enjoy.
