Score: *4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Mildly dark mahogony with edges of light brown, 70% opaque. Milky, chocolate, coffee nose, moderate density, porter-like in that it is not full in palate though not thin either. Cellared and lactic but a chocolate finish fights its way through. (on tap, Rock Bottom Atlanta)
