| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2005 Bottle Pours a clear but dark brown with a modest sized creamy light tan head. Thick lacing as well. Aroma is fairly sweet nutty roasted. Flavors are roasted hazelnuts and some dark roasted flavors. Body is not very heavy and finish is quick and clean. Not much hops and easy to frink.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 22, 2005 Bottle. Dark brown with a hint of red, light tan head that was pretty thin and faded quickly, not much lacing. Aroma is pretty tame, a little bit of malt with hints of coffee. Flavor is kind of nutty, a touch of coffee, kind of roasty, good balance. Smooth, body isn’t near as substantial as a porter, the next step up the dark beer scale, so I thought there was a bit more to be desired there. Not bad overall. jasonp (1510), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2005 Clear brown with ruby edges and a quickly disappating off-white head. Nutty caramel aroma. Up-front flavor of caramel, roastiness, brown sugar, nuts and chocolate finishing with a hint of nutmeg and cinammon. Pleasantly sweet, mild roasty finish. Medium smooth body with moderate carbonation. No lacing or head retention. Solid, drinkable stuff. MaxPower (961), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
