| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 30, 2009 bottle: full, sweet malts in the nose, chocolate and hints of caramel. pours dark brown/black with a quickly dissipating tan head. The brew is well balanced, medium bodied and smooth mouthfeel with bright carbonation. Roasted malts, coffee finished with hops and alcohol for a nice ending. I like it a lot but probably won’t be running back to the shop for seconds. thirdeye11 (549), Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2009 Bomber bottle. Poured almost opaque black, with barely any head. Weak aroma or chocolate, and some roasted malts and maybe a little caramel. Flavor is pretty bland and blah. Not much there really. Clean palate, no bitterness. Thin to medium mouthfeel. Not bad overall Barrios (858), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
