Nose is almost savory; doesn’t really hint at the taste to come.
This is fantastic - sweet, malty goodness with flavors of cola, caramel, and much more. Remarkably smooth, and the alcohol is extremely well disguised. Really enjoyed this.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Malt, caramel, chocolate on nose, not particularly pleasant, wierd toasted quality, and a dusty smell (?!?). The appearance is deep amber/brown, like cola, thin off-white head. The flavor is very chocolate, some caramel, hint of smoke, much more enjoyable tha the aroma. The mouthfeel is decntly thick/medium The finish has light smokiness, toasted malts. Not bad, but not totally enjoyable. hatchattack (10), Virginia, USA
