| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 27, 2006 This wound up ever so slightly better than the last LF I had from sampler purchased in Boulder. This rating may not be "fair" to the brewery, but it serves as a reminder to me to see if ever I can have a fresh one, whether my mind will change and also as warning to those in Boulder that perhaps these are past their prime. Not bad, something good lingers beneath the surface, but I seriously doubt this was meant to be either tart or funky. Characteristics of the roast malt are hidden behind that. Sad.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Bottled. Pours a clear dark brown with a thin white head that disappears quickly. No lacing. Nice aroma with chocolate and perfume. Surprisingly nice flavour of malt, more chocolate, plus molassas & fruit and a clean finish. Very easy to drink. boFNjackson (1329), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Bottle... Poured a deep brownish/red with a thick, khaki head. Malted and toasty aroma. Big, foamy mouthful with roasted cocoa flavors, caramel and bready malts. Other flavors of dark fruits and a nutty, sugary syrup. No hops to be found which created a sweet, easy going finish.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 7, 2002 Dark brown-red in color, very tiny head. Aroma is of malt and coffee and slightly of alcohol. Flavor is disappointingly light initially, and turns malty and slightly bitter and finishes slightly acidic. Very watery, moderately carbonated mouthfeel. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 29, 2003 This beer surprised me because it was such a dark lager. Very dark brown, a hint of roasted cocoa. Not very hoppy, but it is well-balanced. Somewhat thin-bodied, though, and not particularly striking. JaBier (1294), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 2, 2009 12oz bottle from the mix pack. Pours medium brown with a half inch off-white head. Roasty coffee aroma with some hop and lots of malt. Malty flavor with roasty coffee and hop finish. nuplastikk (1261), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Nov 4, 2007 12oz bottle. Smooth and creamy. This is a very enjoyable dark beer. Full of flavor but also quite drinkable. Very malt centered beer.
