| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 9, 2009 On tap. Pours deep brown with little head. Not a lot of aroma - hints of hops but mostly caramel malt. Taste is caramel malt and bitter hops, which is a nice taste, albeit not complex. Seems a little "hot" but ABV is not that high - who knows. Good brew - not a favorite.
