| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2008 Murky reddish brown with a large tan head, quickly dissipating and lacing my glass along the way. Aroma of roasted malts, light fruit and chocolate with some sourness to it. Taste is of caramel and chocolate with some light roasted malt characteristics to it. It had sort of a sour lactic quality and it finished lightly dry. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 21, 2008 Strong aroma of chocolate and roasted coffee, with that buttery smell reminiscent of caramel corn, but it blends nicely into the flavor. Has some chocolate icing in the flavor and a strong coffee roastiness. Some grassy hops and some light fruit notes as well, but overall this was a pretty lame beer.

Smelled of chocolate brownie and earthy dry leaves. There was also some tobacco and leather. Sweet on the tongue and medium bodied. I tasted chocolate, toffee, a splash of coffee, and a hint of sprucy hop. Pretty good. brewblackhole (1374), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Picked up a six-pack at Bob McFarland’s Liquors in McFarland, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy dark cola brown brew with a creamy off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and a thick off-white ring. Aroma of roasted dark malt, some dark pitted fruits, a touch of plum, grassy hops with a touch of sour chocolate. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of roasted dark multi-grain malts, some vegetable and grassy hop character and a touch of plums. Finish is semi-sweet with a mild bitterness that is more pronounced compared to other dark beers I’ve tried. kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
