4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz. bottle, consumed on 4-20-13. Refreshing, sweet, fruity, yeasty, tangy, juicy aroma features chocolate-covered strawberries, mango, raspberry-flavored dark chocolate candy bar, caramel, and watermelon bubblegum scents. Unique, powerful, appetizing, very good smell. Pours dark brown with an amber hue. Streaks of very small bubbles that rise at moderate speed. Large amount of fluffy taupe head. Produces very good lacing. A strong 4 for appearance. Bitter taste features taffy, licorice, coffee with cream, lemon, and minerals flavors. There’s an orange tang in the taste. A touch of booze in the flavor. The same watermelon bubblegum element that’s in the aroma is also in the flavor. Salt, especially in the finish. Some noticeable spices, especially black pepper. Long, dry, bitter, strong, roasted coffee aftertaste. Medium body. Soft in the palate. The palate rating of 4 is due to the strong aftertaste; the other palate effects are unremarkable. Overall, way more interesting and better than I expected. Unique, aromatic, and dare I say delicious? Underrated. It’s hard to believe it has this much flavor with such a low alcohol content. 9/4/8/4/17=>4.2
