| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 8, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown colour, aroma of bitter chocolate. Malty, taste of candy sugar, chocolate, coffee. Great finish with a kind bitterness. Drink slowly and enjoy! gorditoabd (174), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 8, 2009 Pours cola-color with a LOT of styrofoam-cotton head. Aroma is dark, rich, bitter raisins, spice, and grapefruit. Maybe a hint of ripe banana? Wow, flavor is strong alcohol, I may be drinking this at too warm a temperature. Spice and raisins are still there, but the alcohol overwhelmed that first sip. A follow up gives a hint of anice and spice, but the alcholol still pervades. Very warm boozy finish, not as well disguised as I would have hoped for. I think this is a better beer to start your night on, not so much as a closer... BgThang (118), Texas, USA

had access to all I wanted on a recent business trip and passed. it has the spice, clover, raisin, cotton candy dark fruits. Was good but not better than westy 12

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 7, 2009 Pours a deap dark brown to black color and a light brown havy head. Aroma is of roasted malts and some spices. Flavors are complex, very spicy with caramel and a strong alcohol hit, ripe fruits like banana and figs, but very smooth and a little pleasant sweetness.
It has a very warm finish, but there are soo much pleasant flavors it is a real peasure to drink, it is really a gastronomic drink, its really one of the best beers. petematte46 (226), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 6, 2009 Extremely complex and wonderful aroma. Can smell mango, pear, apples, a bit of strawberry even. Pours a cloudy brown with a thin head. Taste is very spicy at first taste, but the more you drink it, the most you are able to recognize and appreciate the more subtle flavours. Even 10-20 seconds after taking a sip, I am still picking up different flavours. Fantastic beer tokyogoat (567), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 330ml poured into tulip
Pours a reddish brown with a gigantic thick and creamy head.
I cant get much on the nose of this one. Light yeast and apple.
First sip sucked.
Second sip isnt too bad.
Alcohol is just not good. It tastes like a quad that someone poured isoprophyl alcohol into.
Nice mix of spices, but to me they just are too much.
I might be one of the only people on earth that prefers Chimay Blue to Roch 10.
Tastes like it needs 3 - 4 years on it.
ok, just took another sip. just dont like it. damn :o(
