| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jan 21, 2006 A muddy cherry red look. Medicinal with overtones of cough syrup and coal tar. The alcoholic content was not that pronounced. Not too good. motelpogo (4399), Plzen, Czech Republic
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Dec 29, 2005 probably not the smartest choice of a beer to take along to a barbie on a hot afternoon. looked alright - brown with a purple tinge. very scary aroma - vomitous, surgical, some rotting flesh. actually didn’t taste as disgusting as expected, just some dull bockish malt character and bad homebrew flavour vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jul 31, 2005 9 May 2005 Sweet some simple roasted malt hop aromas. Reminds me of old home brew. Cloudy dark brown colour, brown head. Simple roasted malt flavour. Bitter finish, thin fruitarty lingering roast malt. A bit simplistic. I can make a better beeer.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2005 Aroma: pineapple/plums and a little carbon. Appearance: dark red/brown with a tan head. Flavour: mochery & a little carbon. Palate: thin but clean drinking. Overall: it smells and tastes different. omhper (12321), Stockholm, Sweden
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jun 13, 2005 Bottled. Hazy mahogany colour, rich head Extreme flowery band aid aroma. Sweet and medicinal with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Low bitterness . The flaws from the best bitter is here exaggerated and completely takes over. Lunkie (1020), Glen Iris, Australia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 21, 2005 thick malt aroma. Dark borwn black colour with good head that lingers. Rich malt flavour. Thick palate. mullet (801), Melbourne, Australia
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Mar 9, 2005 Looks very good - nice deep brown-red colour with good head retention. Solid looking beer. Loads of plastic aroma with varnish, rough chocolate malt, false teeth lollies and dirt. Muddy apricot and malt flavour, with more plastic and cocoa powder, followed by a big, rough roasty, bitter and VERY alcoholic finish. It’s very rough, though not entirely unpleasant. Far too much alcohol character, though it’s rather watery at the same time. It’s a massive improvement over how it tasted at AIBA last year at least. Linc (736), Sydney, Australia
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Dec 3, 2004 Not at all unlike a very dodgy Patagonian "bock" I once had (see Bodegon Negra) except without the bits floating in it. It has the right ingredients, some choc flavour, a little roasty complexity but it completely loses out to a bit of dodgy sourness that has turned the mouthfeel rather watery. I didn’t get any of the cough mixture flavour and wasn’t sufficiently repulsed to pour it down the drain, so I guess it aint all bad.
