| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 16, 2004 RIght now, I am thinking of beers with a good malt taste (since this North Coast Old Stock Ale I am drinking right now is truly dynamite). Here is one that comes to mind, there’s definitely dark flavors, with a smooth body, and nice finishing kick. This is one of the four selections I would choose from quite frequently at Iron Hill. A good choice. Jayb0 (752), Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA

This one has a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel and a great balance. A slight sourness keeps it quite quaffable. MaiBockAddict (1499), Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA

Nicely carbonated with a medium-bodied mouthfeel. Good, hoppy balance adds a bit of an edge that keeps it from getting to sweet. Taste reflects the malts used (roasted, chocolate). Dry, moderately bitter finish. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
