| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 7, 2005 Very dark ruby/brown, black if you will, with a medium sized and colored tan head. Vinous aroma along with some alcohol, vanilla and a bit of roast. Flavor was pretty sweet, some rum, cherry, followed by some coffee dryness. The body was a touch light and the alcohol was a bit much for a beer barely over 8%. All in all, pretty nice. Thanks for sharing, rudolf. madsberg (5075), Søborg, Denmark

Poured dark, so dark no light from my computer screen goes thru it. Tan head, fluffy and creamy. aroma of fresh roasted coffee, and hops. Also some chocolate as well. Woe, the mouth feel is full, but not heavy. Roasted malts transition well into hops. The after taste is sour, but not unpleasant. There is just enough carbonation, and the dry finish is outstanding. Great!
