| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2007 750 ml bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with some red highlights when held to a light. Small biscuit colored head that quickly faded to a thin film. Lovely aroma of dark raisins, caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is just as nice with plenty of raisins, caramel, and just a hint of brown sugar. A bit sweet but not excessive. Some hops at the finish add a touch of bitterness that lingers lightly on the palate after the swallow. Almost velvety mouthfeel. The alcohol was very well hidden with virtually no alcohol burn. Very good stuff. travita (1970), Frisco, Texas, USA
