| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2008 bottle. pours an opaque brown color with a foamy tan head. smells of dark fruit, yeast, and some banana candy. sweet roasted toffee flavor with some banana presence, somewhat reminiscent of a Belgian dubbel. a bit cloying but not so much that I couldn’t enjoy the beer. finishes fairly clean. a bit too hearty to be session material but still quite tasty. cheapdark (2044), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Dark root beer appearance from a brown bottle. Clean fragrance. taste is certainly peculiar to say the least. Not exceptionally rootbeer citrus bitter yet offensive to an extent in it’s own interesting way. Calm leather and saddle mixed with dirty root vegetables. At times seems to be alky in nature, but not like 6%. A near chocolate finish withoout medicinal attributes.
