3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled at guest table during Dark Lord Days ’08. From 22-oz bomber pours a semi-hazy copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring and very little lacing. Aroma of medicinal herbs, dried yeast, some faint sweet caramel malt, and a touch of vanilla. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonated, heavy on the alcohol with flavors of dark pitted fruits, some yeast, dried multi-grain malt and some herbal spice. Finish is slightly metallic from the high alcohol with a dry and bitter malt aftertaste that lingers after the finish. I’d share this one during the winter months any day.
