| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2009 Dark, dark red with very little head. This beer is incredibly sweet, from smell to taste. Dominant aromas are molasses, raisins, and some spice. Flavor is figs and brown sugar. This is not complex, and arguably too sweet, but I found it strangely satisfying. drjay44 (773), Salida, Colorado, USA
