| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Pour is brown producing a medium beige head that quickly fades. Very light aroma. Grainy malt is noticeable as is a light hint of chocolate and a brown sugar note. Flavor has a pronounced brown sugar quality within the thin body. There’s a slight metallic bite at the finish. emerica56 (583), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with some small spots but not much head retention. the nose is earthy with some traces of mild bitter hops , also smells like wet dog. The flavor is very tart and bitter on the tip of your tounge but it mellows out the more you drink it. The finish leaves a tart earthy and nutty aftertaste in your mouth. snook91901 (34), USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 28, 2008 The aroma was by far the best aspect of this beer: very malty and rich with almost no hop boquet. The beer pours a dark brown with a small very short lived head. The flavor is the worst aspect. It tastes a lot like my first homebrew. The strong malts cannot compete with the off tasting yeast characteristics. Acidic aftertaste. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA
