chocolate is getting a lot stonger in the flavor along with the nutty character, caramel sweetness is playing a supporting role to bring out more chocolate character,

A smooth very drinkable beer, but it has a slightlty watered down after-taste. Not as much malt in the flavor as the aroma insinuates but has a touch of smoke, and is slightly sweet.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 23, 2005 Thanks to beeryum for this one. Pours a nice deep copper shade with medium white head. Aroma of caramel malt, spices, some hopcit. Tastes malty, with some fruit, brown sugar, hops, and spice. It all doesn’t quite seem to jive on the tongue, but the underlying complexity and quality still comes through. Solid.
