4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: APR 4, 2009 Extra black with no head. Very inky. Big, salty, roasty aroma with light chocolate and some molasses. Fruity, whiskeyish palate with chocolate and nut accents. Quite a bit of complexity and I dig the inkiness.8-4-8-4-16 = 4.0
Original rating (March 2004): Dark molasses brown. Roasty aroma with Belgian milk chocolate, macadamia nuts…rich and decadent. Body is sweet, treacly, with hints of black chocolate and slightly stinging roast. Long, bitter coffee finish teeters on the edge of astringency. Black malt acidity comes in late. 9-4-7-3-14 = 3.7
