| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 24, 2008 Bottled. Poured deeper garnety-brown with a short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasted darker fruits and sweeter chocolates with a milky air to it.. very nice charred tar and coffee on the back. The flavor held sweeter chocolate, oatmeal, and lactose sweetness at the core with light herbal and coffee bitterness around.. sweet overall, and quite engaging. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.. flowed well across the palate and left a very nice sweet, roasty impression on the finish. Good stuff! Kirsch (12), East Lansing, Michigan, USA

Poured dark black with thin off-white head. Flavor was smooth with subtle accents of coffee and chocolate. Palate had a bite in the middle but finished smooth. Overall a great beer. polomagnifico (535), Saginaw, Michigan, USA

Dark brown with a thin bubbly light tan head and some lined lacing. Smell is sweet malt and some raisins. Taste is malt and dry pecans. Palate is smooth and fairly thick. Drinkable. No huge bold flavor or nose but it has a hint of burned pecans in the finish and aftertaste and becomes more present as it warms. Syd (911), Waconia, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 1, 2008 Bottle pours black with a 1 inch off white head that clings to the glass - perfect. The aroma is bitter chocolate and roasted coffee; perhaps some brown sugar or molases. The flavor is milk chocolate, oatmeal, some milk (2%), and weak coffee. The palate is thin to medium with some carbonation. Overall, not my favorite, but still a decent beer. waolsen (1224), Littleton, Colorado, USA
