Malty and burnt aroma and flavor. Mine was few days too old. But still good. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 8, 2005 Black-bodied with blackberry highlights and a large, brownish head that settled to a thin film. Aromas of incense, sawdust, charcoal BBQ, grain & molasses. Moderately & thoroughly bitter with smokiness coming through in the flavor with raisin. Dry textured, and, for all the strength showed in the aroma and flavor, it came off a bit thin. Slightly metallic at first but it mellowed out.

Open to a bit of lager driness. No stronger than any megabrew, and pretty complex in flavor. Nice note of a fruit wine toward the end. • A later sample (Mar 06) yields a note of Saaz hops that I didn’t notice the first time. TheBeerOrg (1589), Kentucky, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 24, 2005 Updated: Jan 21, 2006Pours near black with ruby hues and a fully receding tan head. Aroma is delightful sweet, slightly vinous with molasses and brown sugar. Taste is dark breads, quite different from the aromatics. Starts a bit chewy, but finishes dry. Restrained sweetness and only a slight creeping bitterness in the finish. Thin bodied with light carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. Very enjoyable.
