| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 24, 2007 0.5L bottle. Almost no aroma at all, some faint hoppiness, dark brown colour, strong and dominating flavours of roasted coffee. smmoth and easy to drink but unimpressive. BustedFlat (553), Edina, Minnesota, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 2, 2007 Bottle -- Far from one of my favourite styles, but here goes... Pours a deep browny red with a medium beige head with OK retention and a fair bit of lcaing. Aroma is sweet biscuit dough with a bit of roastedness and over-ripe fruit. Surprisingly watery palate. More roasted malt up front in the flavour, givng way to a fairly insipid sweetness. Actually very light and lacking in oomph. Has hints of depth and complexity but doesn’t follow through. Still not one of my favourite styles. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a medium light tan head. Smells of roast and dark fruits mostly, some toasty caramel as well. It actually has a unique smell to it that I really enjoyed. The taste has a lot of dark malts, sugar, with the fruits being the most indistinct character of them all. Really short finish and the aftertaste is almost nonexistenet. It goes down easy and is pretty creamy. Not very exciting, but drinkable. chmurarz (402), Raciborz now Legnica, Poland
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 5/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 25, 2007 brown body, very nice stable head, regular and bubbly, flavour is very weak, not distinctive, medium carbotantion, flavour is mild. alkmost no taste, the problem is that I can not feel the taste, you don’t rate what you don’;t feel,
poor brew, weak taste, not much

Well it’s quite sweet, quite malty, a bit too light bodied, some cocca powder, some roasty bitterness and smokey as well, good beer! madquacker (722), Canberra ACT, Australia
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 15, 2007 Black beer with a disapperaing head. Nothing overly spectacular here. Abit cordially and sweet for my tastes. Could be better integrated. Think Tooheys Old might even be better.
