| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 29, 2009 Bottle from rpstevens. Thanks! Pours dark amber/red with very short lived small head. Smell is slightly nutty, a bit fruity, and a bit sweet. Taste is fruity, nutty and malty but has a nice enough balance for the style, I suppose. A bit soft carbonation, but enough that it is suitable. Decent beer overall. LilBeerDoctor (1530), East Setauket, New York, USA

Aroma is rich and malty with some diacetyl. Flavor is sweet and bland--not much going on here really. Not bad, not good, just a boring beer.
