| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a dark cola color with a small amount of brown head. Dusty aroma of cocoa, roasted dark malts and light coffee. Taste includes roasted malts. At times, the beer takes on a bitter or astringent quality. Dry chocolate and roasted toffee notes dominate the flavor. Average sweetness and carbonation for the style. Could use a little more body though. I thought this was a pretty good brew.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2008 Faint roasted nose, with hints of sugar and chocolate. Pours a dark brown, with some light able to get through, with a tight light tan head. Floral hops are the predominant flavor, with hints of roast, and a bit of pine in the finish. Light mouthfeel, with heavier carbonation then I was expecting. Quite a tasty beer. FROTHINGSLOSH (2030), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 8, 2008 This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured black with a small brown head that faded quickly. The aroma was bitter, roasty and had an undertone of Baker’s chocolate and a touch of fruity and floral hops. Somewhat faint on the nose but interesting. The flavor was bitter, roasty, toasty and had a moderate port wine element with light fruity and floral hops throughout. The finish was medium length roasty and bitter. The body was a bit watery. Decent.
