| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 16, 2009 The aroma is nice earthy malts. The pour is deep brown with a red hue. The head was a small ring of tan bubbles around the edge of the glass. Very nice roasted malt flavor, just a touch of sweetness....not caramel.. which is what I usually expect sweet malts to taste like. Finish is slower, not clean. Pretty good.

The aroma was sour, vegetal, tangy and malty. The flavor was fruity, tangy, bitter and richly malty with notes of caramel, nut and a touch of molasses. The finish was long, tangy, fruity and malty. The mouthfeel was moderately thick. Goodgrief (1161), Middletown, Delaware, USA
