3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours with a dark brown color, culminating in a fluffy off-white head. The lacing is remarkable, being sticky and resilient. The carbonation was, however, a bit weak. The nose is raisins, caramel, and maybe some chocolate. Sweet in the front and slightly bitter in the finish, the taste matches the aroma profile. Overall, this is pretty decent ale: flavorful, but a bit reserved – easy to drink.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very dark red-brown body, off white head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and coffee. Nice sweet flavour.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Pub Italia. Poured into the proper chalice although much too cold. Cloudy brown with a nice head, nice huge aroma of bread and yeast, traces of brown sugar and grapes or some other fruit. Tastes how it smells, moderately sweet, a nice alcohol and yeast taste throughout, litte bit of burnt caramel at the end. This was one of the first beers that opened my eyes to beer since it was sometimes on tap at the local pub...will always have a special place and if its on tap at a "macro" pub it will be up there for my first choice.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Innisfil, Ontario, Canada.
Dark, nearly black pour - was wishing and hoping that it’d be unfiltered, but this is not the case. Great head. Like a sponge. Nose is very light - surprise there. Caramel, chocolate, fruit, even some licorice. It’s not the most intense flavour, either, which is a good thing. Awesome beer, very drinkable. Bitter on the back end, which I like. Awesome beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at J Clyde Birmingham AL 3/2/11. Snifter. Very dark, filtered. Small white head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweetish, candi sugar, chewy and sticky. A little industrial but very good and easy to drink.
