| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Not bad, tastes like a big dry stout. Lots and lots of roast, ashy with alot of coffee. Medium palate but not alot of heavy sweet malts. Rather, notably dry, bitter and roasted. Quite a bit of carbonation, with a big foamy head and a fizzy mouthfeel. Nearly opaque, deep crimson at the edges in the light. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 29, 2008 Bottle: Very dark brown pour with crimson edges. Large beige head. Roasty tones, dark chocolate, and dark fruits make up a nice aroma. Tastes of roasted malt, slightly burnt, coffee, bitters, currants, and has a slight fruity twinge. Enjoyable.
