| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2009 Poured into a tasting cup from the tap.
The color is a dark amber / red with a dark white head.
The smell is a bit bitter at first with a hint of malts and wheat. It is also a little sweet as well,has a slight caramel feel.
The taste has a slight hoppy taste to it before giving way to a chocolate and caramel feel.
A great beer to have on a cold day. A tad bit heavy but not too heavy and would go good with a nice steak.
