| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2006 zero head. ugly brown color, dark and murky, some mustard. smells nice, but it’s so weak. nothing much going on here, a bit of nuts. quite simple, quite drinkable. i bet people who are new to good beer would find it quite agreeable.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 13, 2006 Bottle. Dark chocolate/purple pour with a minimal gray ring of bubbles for a head. Chocolate, plums, almonds, and cherry wood nose. Chocolate and caramel flavors are easily noticed and enjoyed, and then a nice fudge flavor emerges with a little nutty flavor. Rich sugar daddy finish. This is a bit sticky but I like that in some beers and this is one of them. Just a light chili like spice bitterness to this to keep it in control that works well.

A malty aroma and taste with chocolate overtones. A decent brown but not an overly exciting winter beer. Siroy (220), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 20, 2006 A mostly lasting thin fizzy tan head tops up a clear medium mahogany body. Moderate lacing. No particles. No bubbles. Aroma presents heavy hay residual sugar, roasted, toasted, faint nuts. Hops are barely noticeable citrusy ... Yeast character is heavy dough. Also, there are faint evocations of grape and evident traces of vanilla. Initial flavor is heavily sugary from what seems to be residual sugar.. Finish is long and sweet (did i get cardboard?). medium body... oily texture... Soft carbonation...
