| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 19, 2006 750 mL bottle from beastiefan2k, thanks Eugene! Pours mahagony with a tall foamy and creamy tan head that has good staying power, sticky lacing. Aroma is dark wheat, oak malt (hay, straw), yeast (dough), banana, clove and fruit (peach, apricot). Light chocolate and creamy caramel flavor, oak notes, rich malt and yeast body, medium acidity, the alcohol is well hidden although the hoppiness is accentuated by the alcohol. Dark, warm and full bodied, creamy and smooth palate that ends a tad fizzy and slightly dry. A few more years on this one and it would be outstanding. TomDecapolis (3222), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
