| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 10, 2006 A pitch black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of chocolate, but also with light notes of coffee. The flavor is dry roasted - as dry as licking on a piece of wood, though a chocolate covere piece of wood, since it also has some chocolate notes. I find it a bit too dry - but still drinkable.
