| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 7, 2008 Aroma is a roasted scent with tones that remind me of orange liquor. Color is a dark amber with very good carbonation and a thick tight tan head. Taste is clean and malty. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp letting it feel lighter then it is. Finish is a roasted malt flavor back with a spicy hop flavor that come out with a mild citrus (orange) and vanilla taste. In the after taste its clean with a mild bitterness. This is a very good brew and is better then I was expecting it to be. thenick (744), North Bellmore, New York, USA

Taste is the same, with caramel and roasted malt up front. Raisins and spice detectable in the aftertaste. A very enjoyable brew, and one I would definitely have again.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. I was a little disappointed with this one. Oh, I thought it was good but I had higher expectations. Smell was a tad weaker then should be. Appearance was nice dark brown color. Flavor was good because I like dark beer but it was a little weak. Overall, good beer but if I had more options I would probably choose another. robertjm (401), El Cerrito, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Every time I here a reference to ths one its usually too late to buy a six-pack so I was in luck when I ran into some over at Ledger’s Liquors, in Berkeley. Pours a small tan head with small bubbles, that disipates in only a few minutes. Nice dark brown color. To me a clear aroma of what must be chocolate malt. Taste is like a bock with dark malts in it. Perhaps a little more hoppy than a traditional bock. I like having a bock every once in a while, I’m just not 100% sold on this one now that I’ve tried it. May just have to do some additional ’studies" of teh style to be sure!!! FlyingSwine (169), Littleton, Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Pours a nice dark black, with a one-finger tan head. Aroma is odd...light, but slightly musty, kinda like a grandma’s basement. Flavor is heavy on the malt, with hints of dried fruits, smoked wood, and roasted nuts. Palate is thinner than expected, and finishes a bit too dry for my tastes.
