| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 10, 2006 Draught at The Bier Garden in Asheville, NC. Dark brown, almost opaque, lighter brown around the edges. Foamy tan head that laced the glass. Very attractive, complex aroma including hints of vanilla, moalsses, milk chocolate, and sweet cream. Creamy and slightly sweet. Very smooth due, in part, to the low level of carbonation. Flavors follow the aroma; malty milk chocolate and vanilla with the smallest hint of smoke. This is a good one.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2007 Can, yes indeedy. A Bonus brew from Iowaherkeye. After having a drawn out conversation that verged on an argument about PBR this evening wtih a few friends I thought it would be appropriate to open this 12 oz can of suds. Thats a serious pour from a can, yes a can, i’ve said it again, a can, can I say can, I can. Anyway the pour is deep brownish black completely impossible to see through. The head is large fluffy and tan. The aroma is wet and malty and thin. The taste is malty and full of caramel and sweet. Smooth and tasty, definetly a shocker from that can. Thanks again Joey.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Near black colored with red hints, little light brown head. Strongly roasted aroma with sweet caramel, hints of licorice also present with slight alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavor is also dominated by sweet roastiness, some vinous note also present. Aftertaste is still coffee-roasted with lasting bitter mouthfeel in tongue. caesar (3034), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 10, 2005 Can. Dark molasses malt and hops aroma. Opaque black-brown color with ample head. Strong creamy malt and molasses flavor with a much lighter hops flavor than I expected from the aroma. Nice full body with a slightly oily feel. Have to agree with other raters - one of the best canned beers I’ve ever had. larsga (2980), Oslo, Norway
