Aroma has roasted malt friars balsam plum pudding, wood fungus and light alcohol. Very low carb medium body. Flavours a tad disappointing lacking the complexity of the excellent aroma. Medium generic cola sweetness and lighter intensity medium bitter roasted malts and hops. Very pleasant drinking.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 24, 2009 From the 1 pint .9 fl. oz. dark olive bottle. The pour is a fairly dark brown, nearly black tone. It has a modest creamy beige head. The aroma has some of the chocolate and cocoa elements mostly associated with a Porter. Lightly hopped. The mouthfeel is medium-heavy. The taste is also akin to a Porter with a bitter punch to it. It is another nice brew from St. Peter’s. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
