| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 13, 2009 From bottle. The aroma reminds me of old man wet farts in a sweaty rugby club with beer stained carpet around the bar. Some roasted cocoa and malt in there to. Great black colour with a frothy tan head. Nice smooth texture with a little bit of roasted chocolate malt in the flavour. Nice but not what I was expecting. rmussman (906), California, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Dark brown with mahogany highlights and a creamy thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, salt, light smoke and light chocolate. Taste of roasted malt, smoke and perhaps a hint of chocolate. Body is creamy and low carbonated making it go down pretty easy. Finishes up dry with a salty liquid smoke taste and a mild zing.
