| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of ditmier. Pours a lightly hazy brown color with a big beige head that has good retention. The nose is faint with sweet malts, molasses and some smoke. The taste mirrors the aroma with more emphasis on the sweet malts, less on the smoke and a bit of a light toffee flavor. The palate is a bit on the thin side. The finish is short and dry. Overall: This one coulda benefited from a better hop presence and a more robust smoke flavor, but its strengths outweigh weakness, still quite tasty. wickedpete (629), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA
