3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, bought @ Utobeer, London.
Pours very dark red - almost black. A smallish frothy brown head. Aroma is very sweet - lots of toffee caramel with a touch of chocolate. Quite high carbonation - very lively. Fine mouthfeel otherwise. Flavour is very sweet. Very lightly roasted, slight chocolate and a good dose of burnt caramel. Nice, but a bit too uncomplicated and sweet.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
looks dark and brown, smells faint but a bit like toffee or caramel, the taste is very very much like caramel, with a bit of a light stout, coffee flavour. very creamy texture. a nice mix of bitterburnt/sweet. even though the bottles are just 300ml each, it was a great deal for 10 dollars for 6.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Couleur noire opaque aux reflets rouges et orange. Donne un peu de mousse au service, qui disparaît rapidement.
Parfum effacé mais étrange : sanguin et métallique, rappel le grand air un jour d’hiver.
Le goût est dominé par la mélasse et les dattes. Très, trop sucré pour l’amertume qui est moyenne. L’arrière-goût en est un de mélasse, plus agréable cette fois-ci.
Palais moyen, un peu mousseux malgré l’effervescence faible.
C’est la Jamaïque, c’est la mélasse…
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: OCT 1, 2008 284 ml. Just shy of opaque and brown-black, with a five-finger and mostly lasting head. Caramel cola, corn, and a hint of dry grass in the aroma. Big sweet entry of caramel and brown sugar lasts forever. Finally some faint wood, smoke, dry herbs and chalk show up in the way aftertaste. Medium-heavy body is watery and syrupy at the same time. Slight dryness way after the finish rescues this beer from being extremely cloying. Definitely a one-off (even in a 9.5 oz. bottle partaken at 35 degrees N latitude).
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Ruby black with reddish undertones, and burnt umber head. Aroma is milky and not much else. No roast or other sweetness to speak of. Incredibly sweet beety candi sugar taste takes one off guard. Very little hop character. $2/284mL
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is a bit sweeter than I expected. Nice roasted malt flavor with dry finish. Not bad overall
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Malty sweet. Caramel, but just enough roasted & dark bitterness to keep it from horrible imbalance. A little bit of alcohol comes through in the finish.
