| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 23, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Very clean aroma of sweet malts, a little beery, subtle dark fruits. The taste is a nice, very drinkable, very smooth and clean chocolate. Tastes much better than it smells. I could drink a significant amount of this. Davinci (296), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Rich maple syrup color with little head. Rich roasty aroma with some smokyness, mild dark fruit. Roasty flavor dominates with slight metallic component, mild fruit, becoming smokey on the finish. Faint hints of grape and cranberry and smoke grow as it warms. Light cocoa aromas developing and unsweetened baking chocolate flavors. Fluffy carbonation adds further dimension. Another solid beer from NG. Zinister (1207), Houston, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2008 Bottle, from trade with akevitt. It pours a reddish brown, clear body with a beige head. The nose is malty-sweet with a touch of oxidation, as well as slightly burnt caramel and some dried fruits. Caramel and roasted malt makes up most of the flavor, followed by a little oxidation and some dried fruits, and a little warming alcohol. Full body, slightly sticky, with a long roasted finish.containing some burnt caramel. It’s a nice beer that I wish was more full-bodied and slightly more flavorful.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. I’m not a big bock guy, but I do like this beer (just like everything else New Glarus does). Light brown with amber highlights and a white head. A lot of caramel malt flavor with some roastiness. A figgy fruity finish.
