| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 1, 2010 I really liked this. Dark reddish brown, big beige head. Nicely fruity, coffee-ish aroma. Really easy to drink, smooth without being thin, definately quaffable. Tastes like coffee and prune and other dark fuits, really nice mix of sweet and bitter. Dries out a bit as it warms. Very nice brew. Thanks, Secret Santa! plovmand (1741), Helsinge, Denmark
