Not much exciting as far as aroma is concerned, a little maltiness. The flavor is nice, but nothing over the top, some rich chocolatey, roasty notes. Not much to mouthfeel. It’s a good beer, but just wasn’t too crazy about it. Hangover (771), Atlanta, USA

Thin body, light carbonation. Tastes good enough. Chocolate, roasted malts, spicy/herbal hops and some dark fruit towards the finish. Dry finish, quick. Some lingering bitterness. Pretty good. fidel (1011), Livermore, California, USA
