| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Soupy umber, wooly fondant foam. Huge vanilla, almond, and fudgy malt nose; accents of bubblegum, baking spices, alcohol and plum. Thick, buttery malt flavor and mellow wood- plus ethanol, licorice and Jagermeister. Strains of grainy pilsner malt and "C" hops later on. Ends with a sinus-clearing whoosh of alcohol, ginger and cocounut milk. Pencil shavings aftertaste. Thick as gravy. ’Though smooth, oak and ethanol dominate, and the beer becomes somehat lost. garthicus (1309), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This was a nice winter warmer. Thanks, Mel. boFNjackson (1314), Portland, Oregon, USA
