Aroma of roasted malts, nuts, and some moderate fruitiness. Flavors include a sweet maltiness, some nuts and biscuit, light caramel, and light undertones of dark fruit in the finish. Decent on the palate, but a bit thin. From old notes, so it would be nice to try again. dalepryor (172), Paducah, Kentucky, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 5, 2008 Bottle from West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago. Dark brown almost opaque with red tint and small tan body. Aroma is nutty, chocolate, a little biscuit, sweet like belgian candy sugar, a little molasses, very rich. Molasses is the first flavor with nuttiness, rasisins and other dark fruit, chocolate, very enjoyable but the alc comes out a little too much towards the finish. Medium body that feels a little watery. A very good beer overall even if there were a few things detracting from it. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 6, 2008 When you pour this beer, it is a half a glass of foam. It remains to be seen wheter that is a good thing or not. Dark brown opaque, large tan head that doesn;t last long enough. Good lacing. Alcoholic malt aroma. Bread, brown sugar, and hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel with slight bite. Good olde fashioned flavor and texture, taste, and appeal.
