| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2007 500 ml. Opaque black with a medium-sized head that lasts. Aroma is espresso, char, and spicy dark chocolate. Flavors of spicy smoke and charred wood dominate initially, but some dark chocolate and coffee come through later. Palate is nearly medium bodied, watery, and airy-frothy on the finish. Dorwart (1817), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 29, 2004 Nice thick rootbeer float head (big creamy bubbles) which leads to some great lacing. Aroma of cocco puffs (in milk), dark roasted grains and a hint of coffee. Color is essentially black. Flavor is not quite as thick as I expected. Slightly chalky and thinner that expected. Good roasted flavor, almost burnt at times like a crispy burnt steak that when you eat it dissintegrates into little carbon pieces (gritty). Good flavor though. Finish has a distinctive coffee flavor and leaves a chalky film in the mouth. Little bit of bitterness from the hops also. I keep going back to the chalky/gritty sensation but the beer is still decent beyond that. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA
