| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Poured a reddish brown, mahogany color with a small, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, and light roast. Taste of chocolate, raisins, very roasty, and a trace of alcohol. Thanks hopdog! jeffc666 (1891), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Mar 24, 2005 Almost opaque ruby body topped by a rocky collapsing tan head. Glass lace is excelent. The aroma is light wet cardboard, light fruit, and surprisingly little roasted malt character. The flavor is a bit better but not great. Tons of unpleasant alcohol all throughout, light fruit and some odd medicinal qualities. Fizzy over-carbonated mouth-feel. Clearly this guy is infected, too bad I was hoping for something better. As it is it is not horrible but the phenol notes really detract the more I drink. Bummner. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2005 Bottle , no date or such. Poured dark brown, with a foamy light tan head. Aroma of typical porter stuff, caramel, roasted chocolate malts. Tasted almost burnt and sour. Mouth feel was alittle watered down, but not unpleasant. If only this lived up to the discription.
As it warmed more bitterness and hops came foward. I would like to know the ABV on this. Thanx to beerhandy Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 9, 2005 Brown, mahogany almost. Creamy head and a string, wormy type lacing. Sweet caramel aromas with a slight vinous quality. Bitter hops and figs. Sour and vinous flavor that is slightly oaky. Bitter hops and rich caramel with some alcohol. Funky, maybe it’s barrel aged.
