3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
I am new at this but... It’s a decent beer. I drank it chilled and from the bottle. The palate was very smooth. The flavour was above average, not to strong. After taste was not great but suitable. Overall I would give it about 14/20.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
284ml for those on metric! Small bottle, but big kick at 7.5%abv. Sweet molasses and coffee hints, but less so when chilled. Creamy head disappearing after short while. Most palettable and worth a second attempt or 3! Smooth and sweet.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
9.6oz. bottle, poured into my Sam A. glass, thanks to DragonStout (RB) for the extra (consuomed: 2/18/08)
A: Beer pours like, and looks like cola, with dark brown edges, complete with the fizziness. A thick frothy, creamy beige head jumps out of the glass, then settles just as quickly to nothing more than a wisp.
S: Sweets from ample roasted malts dominate this brew. Lots of burnt brown sugar, molasses, and some toasted nutmeg aromas waft upwards for the duration, though there is a strange soapy scent that permeates it all. Odd.
T/M: Holy crap this is sweet. It’s obnoxiously sweet. Molasses, some light chocolate flavors, even some plum & raisin remind me of some young Belgian dark ales. Hardly any finish at all, this beer was just too cloying for me. Not bad, just too sweet. Creamy with nice carbonation at least.
D: Simply too sweet, with no bittering to balance this out. It’s cloying nature makes this a "1 and no more, thanks" beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours almost black but reddish tint when help up to the light. Thin and runny-looking. Cane syrup smell, including some apples, rum, candy. Smooth and thin but nice palate. Clean, sweetish, simple.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
284 ml bottle via trade with DragonStout. How fitting. Pours a clear dark brown color with a one finger thick tan head. Faint lacing. Aroma is a very light roasted malt and light esters. Flavor is candy sweet malt. Kinda odd. Medium body. A decent beer. Thanks Brian.
3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. pours nearly black with a small tan head that disappears in a few minutes. smells of licorice, smoked woods, and alcohol. lots of character in the taste with notes of brown sugar, maple syrup, marshmallow, and oak. has nice roasty bitter finish with a bit of an alcohol burn. if you can get past the smell it is pretty decent.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
dark almost black body, some brownish head, nose is some coffee, alcohol, and some off lactic smell. flavor is malty sour lactic coffee,and one off taste im not sure of. odd mouth feel.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle by way of dragonstout.... pours a transparent near black brown with a huge tan head that leaves great lace work. there are some reddish/pink highlights in that foam??? chocolate candy like aroma with metallic roasty notes and a light alcohol bite. chocolate candy follows into the sticky flavor and is met with cola, light roast ashiness and some weird overly sweet fruit. sweet ’fake’ finish with alcohol showing up to the party. the flavor is more akin to a really bad wine than to beer???? medium body with huge harsh bubbles
