| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 14, 2008 Bottle... Very dark, murky, prune juice-colored lager with a small, creamy, tan head. Pulled deeply from my glass, the aroma lends vinous, earthy, fruity notes of dried plum, dark raisins, fig, cola, wood, tawny port and rawhide – that is a nose-full. Full-bodied with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and tender carbonation. Sweet, meaty, vinous flavors of dried plum and sherry balanced by ethanol and hop bitterness alongside a whisper of chocolate and delicate acidity. Lengthy, dried plum finish. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 11, 2008 Pours an opague, dark brown body with a somewhat thick oily consistancy and a small beige head with some nice lacing. The aroma is semi sweet chocolate, molasses, and nuts with some banana bread and vanilla tones. The flavor is a lot like the aroma with more dark fruit tones coming through and a mild alcohol finish. I really didnt find the alcohol to be as overbearing as some. A very tasty beer. adrian910ss (1432), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
