| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2009 12 oz bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a deep brown with some dark ruby edges and a large foamy beige head that has some decent staying power. Aroma is strong with lots dark fruit, earth, peat, corn syrup, molassess and rum. Full body with a chewy mouthfeel and average carbonation, some noticable alcohol. Flavors of raisin, prunes, burnt caramel, peat and slight hint of smoke. This is one solid beer but it seems a tad bit hot for only being 8%. Rciesla (3645), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
