| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 2, 2009 Draught @ Bittercreek - Pours a thick black with a dk brown head...aroma is sweet charred wood, coffee and chocolate malt...flavour is similar, and oddly I thought it tasted like it had more alcohol than 7.5%, which I like given that it had wonderful flavour and no burn...coats the mouth and finishes with a burnt woody aspect...that is great on tap!...

The aroma is roasty darkness, burnt molasses, some chocolate, toffee and bread. Nice. The taste begins with chocolate (I love that in the start of the beer’s flavor), burnt molasses and some sweet sugary malts. Those notes are followed by toffee, some coffee, caramel and more malt sweetness. Very nice with full thick bold flavored body. YUM! pepperford (115), robbinsdale, Minnesota, USA
