| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 22, 2009 Bottle from early 08 enjoyed early 09. Pours an opaque near black with a large frothy creamy tan head. Rich aroma, fruity, lots of creamy chocolate, earthy hay, hint of coffee, sweet molasses, touch of vanilla. Sweeter milky metallic flavor, creamy light chocolate, quite a bit of hay, rich vanilla, smooth roast. Hot finish. Syrupy tasting but maybe thats because of its age, very rich. Creamy medium mouthful while at the same time have sparse tiny but sharp carbonation. lowg (123), Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
