Aroma predominantly of chocolate with hints of caramel, coffee, and roast. Taste is more roasty than I had suspected it would be. About 50/50 light chocolate and roast bitterness. Pretty good and easy drinking. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Pours a deep brown color with a thin off white head. Aroma is roasted malt and a hint of coffee. A lot of malt undertones going on.
Flavor is unfortunately a bit bitter and thin. The flavor doesn’t quite follow through with the aroma and there’s a really distinct aspirin bitterness going on. Not entirely pleasant. BrewDad (2378), Olympia, Washington, USA

Palate – Great Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a dry chocolate finish.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 2, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear dark mahogany under a fizzy quickly receding beige head. Some lacing though. Aroma is fairly light, mostly a burnt and roasted maltiness with a light anise and chalk accent. Flavor is roasted and burnt malt with a good bit of astringency. Finishes dry and moderately bitter with some coffee and chalkiness. Mouth feel was lighter bodied with a fairly watery texture. Carbonation is active and fizzy. nqualls (1428), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
