| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 28, 2009 Draft at the Willmington location. Poured a dark brown with an average size light beige head. Aroma was roasty with some chocolate notes and a touch of sweetness. Medium to slightly thin bodied with average carbonation. Flavor was chocolatey but with some milky lactose notes that Im still unsure of if I liked it or not. I could go either way with this beer so I should probably try it another dozen or so times to solidify my opinion of it. fredandboboflo (1417), East Setauket, New York, USA

Aroma of [some qualifying term I can’t read but probably means lots of] coffee, smoke, dates, cherries. Flavor of leafy hops and cocoa powder, particularly at the finish. Pretty good.
