Good Good beer. puzzl (2649), New York, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2006 Bottle from my secret santa. Aroma has a lot of sweet teriyaki, husky wheat, salt, white wine vinegar, sweet cherries. Very interesting and different and enticing. Flavor doesn’t have quite the same profile, though also seems to mix the typical dry wheat with fruits and strange sweetness: apple, blackberry, salt, raspberry. Very good.

Solid black color and a big frothy off-white head. Aroma is smoky and chocolaty. Flavor is sweet, burnt toast, and a little smoke. Excellent balance and very smooth texture--perfect amount of carbonation. 9.5% abv? You gotta be kidding. This beer is the total package. Simply Delicious. hiphops (280), caldwell, New Jersey, USA
