| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 28, 2008 Courtesy Captain Cougar. This was a strange and interesting brew. This one poured a dark brown color with a thin bubbly tan head. This one had interesting aroma of mint, clove, cocoa powder, and bubblegum of all things. The flavor is a good bit funky with the clove, cocoa, and bubblegum all mixing together. There is also some vanilla, oak, and mint chocolate flavors as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a weird funky finish. This was a really interesting beer to try. Thanks for bringing this Tom. Beerlando (2364), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2008 Courtesy CaptainCougar. Wow, this is a strange one! The pour is a dark mahogany brown with a small, frothy, bubbly tan head. Random, spotty lacing is left behind on the glass. The aroma is a strange blend of bubblegum, dried cocoa powder, and confectioner’s sugar. It kind of reminds me of a blend of a brown and a pink Neco Wafer! In fact, that is it exactly. This thing smells like a Neco medley. The flavor is an equally unique blend of cocoa, vanilla, woodsy oak, powdered sugar, and some medicinal herbs. This medium bodied brew finishes relatively dry. This is a weird, yet strangely appealing brew. I’d like to learn more about this one. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, China

Chocolate and cherry liquor with some apples in the aroma. Flavors like chocolate-cherry pie filling. I really liked it. hopscotch (5558), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

The aroma is of bubblegum and chocolate. Also a bit funky and lightly herbal. Light to medium-bodied and watery with little to no carbonation. Sweet, chocolaty flavor. Thin, chocolaty-sweet finish. Much thanks to CaptainCougar for hauling this one down from Georgia! Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark
