| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2008 pours a very dark brown with a red tint when held up to the light, medium size creamy light tan head, excellent lacing.
smell of cocoa, roasted malt, touch of coffee.
taste is a creamy bakers and milk chocolate, roasted coffee, some sour malt, slight metallic on the first swallow which goes away, nice dry ending with some lingering bitterness. scrizzz (1278), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 27, 2008 I do love me a cascading beer, but i’m tired of these beers spilling out of the opened tab before I can pour it. whatever. super dark brown, perfect head. smells of fleeting dark grain. the head has a buoyant and creamy texture and a palatable weight with a naked dryness that really adds to the experience. stronger roast than guinness (i still consider it the standard) with a lingering dry finish. jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA
