| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2009 Tap at City Beer Store and at The Bruery. A beer in an interesting style: black wit. An oxymoron. It was indeed black with a light tan head. Aroma of light fruits, roasted malt, banana, and yeast. Flavors of banana, coriander, wheat, and some yeast in the flavor. Slight roasted taste. Lively mouthfeel. tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 25, 2008 750ml bottle. Not much of a beer really. Not a whole lot going on here. Slightly floral, spicy and soapy aroma. A hint of urinal cake. Some dried dark fruits. Pours a rather dark plum/brown with a thin grey/brown head. Soapy, dry, bitter... grape skin. Orange peel. Incredibly dusty and awful chalky mouth feel. I tried, but this beer really goes no where. Thanks joey! AgentSteve (1379), SF Bay Area, California, USA

The nose is sweet wheat and spice with some floral notes. The flavor is quite the same with a touch of a brown sugar like influence along with some coffee in the finish. (?) A little thin in the body. boFNjackson (1322), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Bottle @ Bailey’s Taproom... Poured near black with an off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits (very grape-like), malt and spices. Dark malt and plum/fruit flavors. Lighter body and other flavors of herbs and a vegetable quality (like root or cauliflower). Light, sweet malts towards the end. BelgianBeerGal (1318), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Oct 8, 2009 75cl bottle from Portland, OR. My first Bruery and hopefully this is not typical. Just seemed unbalanced and thin. Nice dark brown pour with a big cola head and lots of carbonation. Aroma had raisons, roasted malt and some bitter chocolate. The flavour and mouthfeel were super thin and the dry finish was unexpected. Decent but far from what I expected. radagast83 (1315), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Pours a dark, black body with a pretty substantial tan head. Aroma is dark malts, spices, wheat, dried fruits and spices. Flavor is that dried fruits flavor, spices, notes of spices, wheat. Lacing is pretty nice along the sides of the beer. golubj (1290), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Sep 4, 2008 Bottle shared at the CA-GA cultural beer exchange hosted by alexanderj. Gusher bottle; we almost had some casualties. Malt particles were quite visible in the beer. Aroma is some roasted malt, cola, and grain / yeast. Flavor is the same, interesting, with a harsh yeasty / spicy aftertaste. Maybe some dark fruit in there also.
