| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2007 11.2oz bottle. Aroma: Sweet maltiness with some coffee, anise, and chocolate notes. Getting a lot of earthy/peaty notes and strong aroma of smoke, as well. Some prune and vanilla break through as it warms. Appearance: Dark brown in color with small mahogany highlights. Medium tan head was full and creamy with good retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Lots of roasted malt with notes of coffee, caramel, nuts, chocolate, and anise. Again, a strong peaty/earthy/smokey flavor really works its way through. Prunes and dried cherries. Medium dry finish. Palate: Medium-full bodied. Moderate carbonation. Light alcohol warming in rear of mouth. Overall: Interesting beer. The whiskey notes really come through strong. Almost too strong at times. Still, I admire the results and enjoy the beer. Good stuff. railcat1 (582), Orlando, Florida, USA
