| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 3, 2001 Nice deep brown color - though little
head. Medium carbonation.
Sweet aroma, with a hint of hop spice.
Flavor is nutty, roasty, and laced with
a tinge of spicy hops. Body is a bit
on the thin side, which is just about
the only drawback. boto (1336), Granby, Connecticut, USA
