| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a red hued outline and a dense, medium sized tan head. Sweet milk chocolate aromas with some light roastiness. The flavours are sweet and chocolatey, roasty with a dab of coffee. Dryish mouthfeel with no real length in the finish.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Another beer from my Earth-straddling haul of Cov Tesco rates ( 7 from 7 countries). Not negra, but deep ruby with a creamy tan head spotting with yeast. Notes refer to aroma as ’Belorussian limpet’, which I think means brackish, mildly nauseating, sickly with brown sugar, with some rye bread, cheese and vomit showing. Mouth pencil shavings, cola sugariness, licked stamp, toffee. Didn’t tickle my fancy one bit, but Pa Jenner and the sink enjoyed it. mjs (1557), Helsinki, Finland

Caramell and lightly roastedness in aroma. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Caramell, sweetness, roastedness, malts and bitterness in taste. Sweet and bitter aftertaste. l1br4r14n (297), Washington, Washington DC, USA
