Decent aroma chocolate and roasted malt. Taste is an excellent balance of chocolate, roasted malt, with a small touch of hops in the after taste. The texture was thin but not weak or watery, which made it easy to drink. Smooth. Good brew. Thanks robert! Butters (1651), Virginia, USA

Aroma of anise, chocolate, roast malt, and the faintest hint of smoke. That smoke aroma comes to life in the flavor. Some mocha as well. Impressive Chocolate finish. Nice brew.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 11, 2008 Aroma is very smokey, it dominated the aroma. There are some subtle notes of chocolate, and toffee, and a touch of coffee. Flavour is very nice, robust dark fruit notes mixed in with bitter chocolate, and smoke, lots and lots of smoke. There is some nice bready, biscuity malt in the finnish, with a googd amount of bitterness with a touch of alcohol. VERY NICE! zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA
