| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Aroma is sugary with notes of dark fruit and alcohol. Pours a dark brown with a nice thick head, which lasts for about 2/3 of the length of time it takes to drink the beer. Tastes sweet, malty, and a little boozy with hints of bread, figs, chocolate, and a bit of coffee--the alcohol is not overwhelming. Hands down one of my favorites, if not my single favorite.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The color is dark brown with a light foamy white head. With no lacing.
The smell is a bit caramel, with a small fruit flavor in the background.
The taste is a bit sweet with a roasted malt feel and a nice brown sugar flavor.
The feel of this beer is a nice and even. The beer is a strong but not too overwhelming is really drinkable.
