| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2007 This is very good. Sweet and malty aroma. Flavor is sweet with fruit and port wine, as well as lots of malt and a light roasted character. Very heavy palate on this black beer. As good as it is, the flavors and aromas would benefit from more complexity. BDR (2157), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
