| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 5, 2006 Poured from my 22 oz bomber deep and dark with a big rocky head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor threw me a bit ... gritty and chalky, but like bad chocolate. Bitter, but not in a good way. Bit of an off-putting nuttiness ... but as it warms, so do I. Settles into a decent toffee-based bitterness. Don’t serve this one too cold. hiphops (280), caldwell, New Jersey, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2006 Decent sized fizzy head. Reduces pretty quickly. Good carbonation. Rich and malty aroma with some roasted grains, molasses, dates and raisins. Color is a very dark brown with a hint of red. Big roastyness in the flavor that lingers for quite a while. Strong alcohol presence. More dark fruit and malts. A bit of cocoa like the description says. Some bitterness but mostly very roasty. Dry lingering roasty aftertaste. Decent.

Got some coffee flavor and some liq heat right out of the gate but that gave way to some spices shortly thereafter. Borderline porter, if I am inclined to say so. Wait, I am inclined to say so. Hence this box I’m typing in. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 17, 2006 22oz - thanks zug4abby - Aroma of chewy carmel and toffee, dark fruit, milk chocolate, and some hops. Pours deep brown-red with a small head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with a bit more chocolate and hops. Palate is creamy and tart. Different and tasty.
