| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 17, 2008 500ml Bottle Conditioned. Ruby brown colour and no real head. Faint chocolate malt aroma. Light and watery in the mouth. Hints of chocolate malt and, strangely, plastic wrapping. These are quickly replaced by roasted malt, root vegetable and a earthy bitterness. Slightly sweet finish but with quite a strong roasted bitterness. The mouth’s left buzzing suggesting more alcohol than 3.8%. M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Mouth is fresh and grassy malt. Some meatiness and body there, bit inoffensive and straightforward, but jolly nice. FatPhil (3507), Espoo, Finland
