| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 9, 2006 (Bottle) Purchased at Beers of the World in Rochester, NY. Pours a medium, tan head with an opaque body. Nose is mildly hoppy beneath the coffee aroma. The flavour is somwhat thinner that I had expected - the hops in the nose never transpired to the tongue; it became simple oily coffee sediment and molasses. Good. FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland

Doesn’t know what it wants to be. Some bitterness, some sourness, and, as common in US beers, plenty of sweetness. Not particularly well combined either, a bit chemical. Fin (3466), Merton, Oxfordshire, England

Dark brown colour. Fatty hop nose with toast malts along with a rubbery touch. Very dark in its aroma profile. Fruity backbone, dark flavours and pretty caramelly and sweet. A good amount of hops add balance. Medium bitter. ratman197 (3256), Arvada, Colorado, USA
