| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2007 Pours a slightly muddy brown, topped by half an inch of light tan foam. Decent head retention, moderate lacing. Mild sweet chocolate in the aroma – but more like a brown ale than an altbier.
More of that sweet chocolate in the flavor, and a touch of raisin. Both of these flavors start strong enough, but finish on the meek side. Low hop presence, not a lot of character added. Just shy of medium bodied, carbonation also on the mild side. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
