| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2007 Pours a dark syrupy brown with creamy large-bubbled head and a nutty, sweet malt aroma. Fruity, berry-like taste with very little in the way of hops. Buttery off-taste - Diacetyl? Decent carbonation, thin body. This may have been a good beer upon conception, but it tastes well past it’s prime only 3 months after purchase. BillKismet (1954), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Chestnut brown colour. It’s a bit cold to get much aroma...silly a brewpub serving such a beer at 4C when they have a 10C fridge as well. But what I get from the nose is a bit nutty with quite a bit of diacetyl. Flavour is pretty much the same - nutty with way too much diacetyl for my admittedly low threshold palate.
