| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 17, 2007 large swing top bottle labeled bottled in 2005. found this on a clearance rack at the store for 7.99 and liked the bottle. bottle top opened with a loud pop, pours a dark black in color with a one finger head that settled down to a nice thin layer. smell is of malts, coffee, sweet caramel, and some dark spices. taste is less carbonated than the bottle opening would lead one to believe, coffee tones with nice malted tastes, a little bitterness, dark chocolate, and slight spices. there is definitely some alcohol in there but it is balanced well and the only complaint is the bitterness at the end is a little overdone for my taste, taste seems to come from the malts. jason (1623), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA

| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jul 2, 2007 Bottle. Pours black-brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very roasted has tones of dark chocolate as well, but has an underlying sourness to it. Flavour though is unbalanced, there is a clear definition of sourness that probably shouldn’t be there. Too bad, but this one was certainly infected. Grovlam (3810), Copenhagen, Denmark
