| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2007 Aroma is strong and malty, with a hint of saltiness and a strong berry overtone - perhaps elderberry (I’m not sure what elderberries actually smell like). Pours a rich, deep, opaque sable with a thick tan head. Flavor is stouty and has a nice bitter edge with fruity/berry hints. It feels thicker than most ales although not quite as thick as a fine stout or porter, and is very smooth. GreatLibations (1441), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Pours midnight brown w/ a medium sized, semi creamy, spattered froth. Decent hangtime w/ nice lacing. Aroma has a nice little whiff of cocoa. Medium nectar w/ soft and creamy residual effers. This brew is balanced right off the bat. A defined pine essence protrudes through the spicey malts. Nuances of cocoa, leather, a gamey berry spice, and a mildly roasted coffee bean interwoven developing into a quite complex brew. The finish is bittered better than average creating a craving for my next sip. LooseCannon (927), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 16, 2007 Aroma of sweet berry and light roasted malt. Very dark brown color with ruby hilites. Beige head that laced mildly as it flattened. A bit thin bodied. Very smooth. Something like a porter with a bit of coffee. The berry is pretty overpowered by the roasted malt. The finish is basically roasted malt with a bit of bitter of some sort. oh6gdx (8838), Vasa, Finland
