| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2008 300th big beer rating, 9th raing of this big old american strong. Bottle via trade. Pours deep brown with a tan quarter finger head. Nose is sweet and astringent, big booze in there. Taste is very sweet with lots of molasses. The alc is big in the nose but to me is limited in the taste. This is much better than the ratings would suggest, yeah its big and yeah its boozy, but less so than most would guess. Gotta say the taste is nice, and palatte ain’t bad I am going to buck the trend here. I like this big old monster. BMan1113VR (2940), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
