I had some doubts how to rate this one, as it was surely infected or way past BB-date. No date on the can though. I ended up trying to ignore the sourish aromas and flavors and I hope I will get a new chance some day. It poured a clear, dark brown with a beige to tan head. The aroma had chocolate, lots of fruity hops, a little smoked hint and some sourness. Chocolate, some sourness, malt and caramel in the flavor, leading to a quite bitter finish with some chocolate. Full body. Even though it was gone bad in a way, it was still a good beer, but I think a can in this condition would have been way too much to finish on my own.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 17, 2009 Brown color, with a really nice rudy/umber color when held to the light. Tallish, somewhat creamy, aged canvas hued head. Good lace. Toasted malt, light chocolate, dark caramel, and herbal hops in the aroma. Smells like a brown ale, nothing to exciting for me. Thin toasted malt flavors in the start. Gets more bitter and starts to get tinny and thinner the deeper in I get into it. After having the CB yesterday, I can recall the base, and now can taste how much the coffee added. HInts of fruit in the middle. Finish is dry and bitter. Really quite boring without the coffee. jbrus (4895), Delft, Netherlands
