| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 31, 2007 This beer came to me in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized dark brown head. The aroma was dry roasty and toasty malts. The flavor was dryish roasty malts with an element reminiscent of malted milk balls. The beer turned slightly sweet towards the finish. The body was fairly thick and smooth. Nice.
