| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Nice heavy aroma of bread-yeast and sweet malt. Light brown, very thick, nice carbonation and great lacing. Breadish taste, very pleasant and smooth, absolutely no bumps in the flavour, the malt and alcohal taste linger after you swallow reminding you that it is a beer your drinking. Quite nice, but I know the 8 and 10 are better! can’t wait. SuIIy (1465), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
