| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 7, 2008 Translucent mahogany brass in color with a fizzing head popping excessively at the top. The aroma captures so much goodness. Milk chocolate talc and creamy toffee ribbons course through the nose. Sandalwood and cocoa powder dusting milky hazelnut candies keeps it coming. Flavor produces a bountiful amount of carbonation, followed by cocoa, dates and disintegrating cocoa nibs. Chalky toffee blankets the tongue while gooey tollhouse cookie batter imparts a devilish creaminess. A hint of oxidized dates meander around peanut brittle. Fuzzy, active mouthfeel is overcome slightly by the over-carbonated body. After the carbonation dies down, it sings a much more delightful story. The caramel cream and cocoa talc drive it home for an altogether pleasant post game.
