| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Bottle... Poured a deep brownish/red with a thick, khaki head. Malted and toasty aroma. Big, foamy mouthful with roasted cocoa flavors, caramel and bready malts. Other flavors of dark fruits and a nutty, sugary syrup. No hops to be found which created a sweet, easy going finish. jbye4334 (710), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Brown color like cola, reddish in the light, fades quick. Dark lager aroma, brown sugar and cola, toasted mild coffee, cinnamon, licorice at the end. Flavor is spicy cinnamon (akin to Anchor Christmas beer) over malted cola; lightly roasted dark malts and molasses. Balanced dark/sugary flavors. Feels bubbly and milky; sticks to the roof of the mouth. A very solid dark beverage, with roasted malts and cola dominating. deyholla (735), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with a brown head. Aroma was chocolaty with a bit of malt undertone. Flavor was dark with rich malt notes. Cybercat (818), Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 4, 2009 Aroma is strong, malty and yeasty with just a touch of cinnamon. It pours a somewhat transparent amber-brown with a thick and fairly persistent tan head - quite appetizing. Flavor is malty and hast a subtle undertone of molasses. Texture is smooth, a little fizzy and just a tad thin - this beer’s only weak point. Overall, a worthy brew.
