| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Bomber. Poured rather clear, deep brown with a well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasty semi-sweet chocolate, coffee, and lesser molasses with sour metallic and coffee undertones.. baker’s chocolate on the final impression.. just OK. The flavor found more well-roasted (almost charred) coffee and molasses than anything else.. green coffee bitterness and sourness surrounded.. lots of char, more sourness, and residual sugars on the finish. Medium-bodied and grainy on the palate with some off-putting sourness.. not bad, but it didn’t fully come together. TheGent (163), , Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2009 Well done LT. Black colored beer with a tan head. Aroma was strong hops with a oranage, leather, wax, funk to it. Taste was a citrus hop and roasted malt bitter punch. after taste lingers and reminds one of crayola crayons. thicker texture. oneof the best I have had from Long Trail. Will have to try more from the Brewmaster Series. Sammy (4050), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 14, 2009 Recent bottle. Surprisingly good IP by this brewery. Black colour, enormous head with big brown lace. Malts are roasted. Taste is hoppy, and that carries you through a voyage of hoppiness, of roast, a little mollasses. Taste is citrus, minority of wood chips. Average mouthfeel. doubleo (1121), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a semi-viscous looking black with a medium sized, creamy, light brown head that leaves some lace. Smells of very sweet roasted malts with some chocolate and quite a bit of alcohol. Tastes of sweet, roasted malts with some chocolate and a hint of coffee.. Very nice. Medium/full body, with nice carbonation. Solid brew. SuIIy (1479), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
