| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Pours dark black with medium sized dark tan head. Nose is salty, roasted malts, some sugar, vanilla, coriander. Taste is heavily burnt malts, some bitterness, a bit thin and acidic. Additional flavors are chocolate, vanilla, some coffee, and a light bit of oatmeal. I think if they could kill the acidic quality and make it more chewy, it would be about an 80.
