1.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
Severly lacking in head. Mildly cloudy with a coriander aroma. Dry, but not tart. Effervenscent on the tongue -- to the point of over-carbonated. An after taste of nasty, wet cardboard. Can't recommend this one.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer poured a stale brown color with a thin disappointing head. It had a fleeting chocolate aroma mingled with watermelon...First taste: watery, left my mouth feeling used, not great. Second taste: the nearest I could figure was that it tasted like slices of fine-quality chocolate spread on a saltine and sprinkled with soy sauce...an interesting combination but not one I would look forward to. Overall, thin is the key word.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deepred. Nose malty, a bit sour, some dark fruit. Tastes a bit like a scotch ale, bit peaty and smoky, some Belgian candy sugar characteristics at the end. Not a whole lot of taste, dies at the end.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours with a thick, pale brown two-fingered head, fades very slowly but leaves hardly any lace. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Color is a cloudy amber. Nose is raisiny and overall flavor is raisiny with a hint of hops. Pricey, $4.30 for a 330ml bottle.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a wonderful deep mahogony with a thick biege head. Aroma is mildly sweet with a touch of chocolate and a lot of yeast. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Raisins, yeast, and bitter nuts on the tongue. Rather dry and bitter finish. Overall this beer really lacks depth and flavor. It's nothing to write home about.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep brown colour, brownish head. A lot of yeast in the body. (My own fault, should have taken more care of the bottle). Moderate malty aroma, quite good lacing. The flavour starts quite neutral, but gets quite bitter. A very long-lasting bitter finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
A nice earthy aroma fdor starters. This dark purple beer is fruity, sometimes tangy. The sparkle is soda water like and the flavours are a little thin. Needs more coffee and chocolate.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy brown, with no head. Smells of fruit, (blackberry jam) and nuts. Crisp, herbal flavors, not particularly sweet. Finishes fairly dry.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma of burned malts/chocolate, sweet. Nice brown cloloured, lasting creamy head. Taste is a bit weak however; roasted malts again and watery sweet. Bit boring.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy dark brown color, medium brown creamy head. Aroma is malty from dark chocolate and some burned malts. Taste is more roasted malty, very thin. Watery and dry palate.
