| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2009 750 from Total Wine. Dark brown and hazy with a short head that dissapates to a thin film. Spicy nutty aroma with some funky yeast, coffee and tobacco. Medium body and spritzy with only a slight slickness. Flavor is unusual. Spicy lika a christmas ale with a bitter finish that lingers. Picking up some bitter chocolate and espresso. Overall I had high expectations that were not met. Not worth the $10 or a re-visit. Has alot going on if you search for it but just doesn’t come together well. cexshun (67), Portage, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Pours a dark hazy brown. Medium off white head with an aggressive pour.
Nose heavy with bread. burnt Candy sugar. Dark Berries. Very belgian-ish.
Smokey malt flavor. Very sugary sweet. Maybe a hint of banana.
Heavy mouth feel, but a thinner body. Prickley carbonation.
Not bad. Kind of a strange style. Very filling beer. Style has heavy belgian influence. Again, not a fan of belgians, so I may be rating it lower then it deserves. I did find it way too sweet. HonkeyBra (1332), Lemont, Illinois, USA

Smoke, dark malt in the flavor with some hops. Some toffee and chocolate as well. Pretty good beer. SuIIy (1445), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

Pours a thick dark brown color with a lighter hue towards the bottom of light copper and red. Big foamy beige head, leaves nice lacing on the glass. Palate is full and sticky with a nice burnt finish. Flavor is heavy on nuts and sweet mollasses with a nice dry, hop finish. Maltajo (108), TARRYTOWN, New York, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Sweet, nutty flavor. More roasted malt, lots of malt, but this beer is far too sweet and it throws everything off. Dark brown, and well carbonated. nick76 (2657), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2009 The aroma is nutty and sweet with wood and toffee. The appearance is dark brown with a haze and a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma but its too earthy for me. The palate is smooth. Overall a well made beer that just doesn’t appeal to me.
