| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Courtesy beerlando. Pours a dark amber, with a light off white head. Smells pretty sweet, alot of sweet dark fruits, some sweet caramel, candy sugar, and yeast. The flavor lives up to the aromas hype, as its more on the sweet side as well. Candy sugar mixed with dark fruits seem to embody the essence of this brew. The finish had a little bitterness to it, almost a spiciness that was rather intriguing. Solid offering here. gnoff (3574), Göteborg, Sweden
