| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2009 A tasty exercise in malt. Sudwerk has packed a lot of good malt flavor into this beer without pushing it into sweet and cloying territory. The beer pours a deep brownish garnet color with a thin, dissipating cap of beige bubbles. The aroma is vinous with a big caramel malt backbone. There are notes of prunes and port, as well. The flavor is surprisingly dry for the style. Bitterness is light, and there’s a touch of spice. Chocolate malt is present but takes a back seat to the big fruit/grain flavors. A good beer that I’m liking more and more as it warms up. hopdog (5614), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
