| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 2, 2007 Bonus appearance point ’cause I love the Lazy Boy logo. Nice aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and slightly burnt toast. Interesting tartness in the flavor, mixed with coffee and chocolate, plus a nice subtle fruitiness. A bit on the thin side, but that seems to work here. Tasty stuff. 5000 (2480), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 9, 2007 Bottle: Pours like a stout, nearly pitch black, moderate fizzy beige head, dies somewhat quickly, lacing is fairly nice.   Very
soft malt nose, a bit more hop presense, burnt malt husks, with a very soft sour lactic background.   Mildly bitter on the tongue,
roasty, slightly dry and a little chalky.   Kinda falls off quickly on the backside.   A little bit too sour, not lambic like, but
certainly moreso like a "London Style" Porter, which I don’t usually care for.   Yeah, definitely finishes a bit sour.   Moderate
malt base, slightly roasted but moreso a sour lactic background.   Smells a bit better than it tastes, granted its not bad, just not
what I was expecting.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate, albeit it does seem as if it might be a little thin on the malts.   Meh...

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 23, 2007 22. Pours black with a loose, egg-white-y head of tan bubbles. Lovely nose of roast and chocolate. Not much happening on the attack, kinda thin and the carb is very soft. Mid-palate comes up sour milk, goes all watery, and leaves in a thin wash of chalk. Not pleasant at any turn once you lift the glass to your lips, but really a nice nose. presario (2996), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
