| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 12, 2004 Very dark brown, short lived very small brown head. Aroma of vanilla, also was roasty and kind of sweet. Starts out roasty and malty but gets overpowered by this nasty lactic burst of flavor. Hard to describe, but was sour. Too thin. Needs work.

Palate was light, watery and only slightly creamy. Big roastiness, which tries really hard, but seems to miss the mark. Much too sour, which was distracting. BeaverBrown (245), Portland, Oregon, USA
