| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 9, 2008 What a beer, I loved it. It had a black body with tan head.

The aroma is nutty with a little coffee and a bit of an oxidized and cherry aromas. This beer is a lot lighter than I expected, but would be much better if there wasn’t this little hint of oxidation.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2008 Bomber. Pours a dark amber black with small beige head. The aroma is chocolate, nuts, black cherry, a mellow sourness, some caramel and toffee. The flavor is tart fruit and caramel up front with a bit of a zing to it. Some ash and chocolate notes come out after that. The finish is like oily nuts, maybe walnuts, with a bit of a dry chocolate to it. Toasty and dry aftertaste. Pretty good. pforei (338), USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 27, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown color with good head that quickly disappears. Cocoa/molasses, coffee, and dark fruit. But really faint and tough to figure out. Taste is similar with milk stout/lacotse note. Better and more expressive at room temp. Alcohol comes in strong at the finish. Thin to medium body.
