| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a thick light tan head. Aroma of bourbon, roasted malt, bitter chocolate, slight booze. Flavor is chalky with bitter chocolate and chocolate malt, roasted malt, light bourbon notes, toffee, caramel malt. Decent beer, but I wouldn’t say it’s good enough to warrant the hefty price.
