| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2009 Light brown. Fairly hazy. Oaty nose with a funny herbal character. Lots of chocolate on the palate - sweet, sort of a sticky honey note. Overall, there are some fun oaty, chocolatey things going on but it fails to come together.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 17, 2009 750 ml. swingtop bottle. (A gift from my favorite girl). Dark brown and translucent pour, with a craggy light brown head which proved unruly in my small tulip glass. Aroma reveals a light funkiness with notes of leather, wine cask and dusty cocoa. Bone dry flavor marked by unsweetened cocoa. Wood and cobwebs gives way after a while to more nutty and chocolatey flavors. Has an interesting choco-funky thing going on, but I admit I would have never spent the $$$ on this myself. darkguardian (506), Florida, USA

Nose is intense chocolate and some odd fruit notes and a little pine. Taste is pure crazy chocolate. Very tasty. Not powdery. One dimensional but extremely drinkable and tasty. Great desert beer.
