| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 13, 2004 This one has a pretty low ABV. I was not overly impressed, I prefer their stout to this one. A nice chocolate undertone with a malty taste. Thinner than one would expect for a dark beer. Zach Diesel (907), Portland, Oregon, USA
