| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2009 22oz bottle. Rating #87. The pour was almost black, had a slight glimmer of red just barely peeking through. Aroma is a little light, some caramel, but nothing else I could really pick out. Lots of flavor, big malts, more caramel, but very smooth as well, really nice. )
