| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 1, 2007 It’s pitch black and the head is huge, creamy and nougat colored. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate and preserved fruits/berries. The flavour is smooth, nice and harmonic - and it has a delightful "mean" streak of heavy roastiness. I find notes of dark roasted coffee, dark chocolate, preserved fruits/berries, that give a vinous touch, and it has a nice bitterness all the way through. It’s a really, really nice beer - thank you so much Tom/After4ever for this one!!! 2300
