same thin tart roasted crap, I guess I was hoping the last bottle was not a good representation but I was wrong, some ripe fruit tries to save it but way too late, picks up a smokey character after a while, some dry dark chocolate shows,

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 23, 2002 Chocolatey, hoppy, kind of low on the abv, lacking fruitiness but has no shortage of roast - like the Wellington County. fiulijn (7520), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Bottle at Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, 45 IBU Black color, medium creamy head. The aroma shows initially a nice cheesy touch (blue cheese), then other components appear too: caramel, roasted malt, cookies. The mouthfeel is very smooth, it has a medium body strength, good caramel and chocolate flavor, light residual sweetness and correct bitterness. Overall, a well balanced beer with a few interesting sides. argo0 (7025), Washington DC, USA

Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, coffee, roast. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, coffee, roast, some smoke, caramel, earthy. Alcohol is remarkably masked. Creamy medium-full body, light syrup, quite drinkable for the style. Seems like a summery IS, if such a thing exists. bu11zeye (5675), Frisco, Texas, USA
