| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 12, 2008 Bottle purchase from the Four Firkins tonight. Bottle was a gusher, glad I was paying attention and had a glass ready. Poured chocolate brown with quite a bit of effervescence. Aroma slightly of alcohol and dark fruit. Mouthfeel was almost that of a slightly less bubbly champagne. Flavor was initially spicy and peppery, and eventually mellowed into a rich and brown sugar flavor. Make sure to pick up a bottle if you can find one. kappldav123 (1893), Markkleeberg, Germany
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2008 The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts malty and strong, sweet. Becomes then much drier, notes of strong coffee and liquorice. Mild finish. Really well done. carruthm (1179), Seattle, Washington, USA
