| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2009 Bottle… Pours black with ruby highlights and a large, fluffy, off-white head. Fantastic, tight, creamy retention. Smoky, espresso and chocolate aroma. Light-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and minimal carbonation. The flavor is a touch sweet, acrid and smoky. Crisp, very lightly bitter finish. yemenmocha (424), Glendale, Arizona, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 15, 2009 Pours cola colored - medium brown and translucent, with light tan head. Nose is roasty but rather tame. Light coffee taste, very drinkable, and a rather inoffensive beer. Could be a nice gateway beer for people apprehensive about dark beers. mkel07 (552), Brisbane, Australia
