| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Sep 15, 2009 500. Capped and foiled, classic Sam Smith square-shouldered bottle. I feel like I should tie my shoes or fix my posture or something to do justice to the nice packaging. Pours a hazy very dark brown with decent ruby highlights showing. Dense, creamy slab of mousse across the top with big splashes of lace. Caramel and brown sugar nose, fairly subdued. Watery light body. Not much flavor other than a soft little coda of the caramel and brown sugar. Fairly vacant finish. Yawn.
