| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 31, 2009 Evidently I enjoyed this one better than most. The taste was of roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. The finish was bitter and mine was highly carbonated. I thought it was decent for a beer of this style, but it doesn’t stand out from other offerings. blankboy (3261), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Bottle [12oz] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o garthicus. Pours ruby-brown with a small fizzy off-white head. Aroma of grain and smoke along with vegetal notes. Dull watery flavour is lightly roasty and papery along with a hint of smoke. Thin bodied. Meh, pretty boring. dchmela (1473), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 18, 2009 Bottle: Clear dark brown color with a very thin head, almost no carbonation. Nose of nutty light roast, some husk and bread. Thin flavor with more nutty malts and husk. Tame body and a tinge of sassafras in the tail. Thin body but the roast is about right.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Bottle ( 12oz ). Shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Dark brick red with a small frothy (everything’s frothy lately!) off-white head. Burnt roast grain aroma, unpleasantly vegetal and dry ... slightly smokey. Taste is mild and dry, sweet roast up-front but a dry sourness lurking ... not too good. Watery, still, with a stale, papery aftertaste. Not great. garthicus (1340), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
