3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Interesting aroma, not very strong, but slightly caramel. Pours very much like a Guinness with slightly less head and a bit of a lighter color. Flavor is quite sweet with a hint of chocolate and a finish of deep caramel. Definitely a winner.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours mahogany with a tan head. The bubbles are winking at me. Sweet aroma of caramel, pear, licorice, alcohol and maybe even onion or garlic. Wow! The alcohol packs a kick in this one. Alongside with the alcoholic nip runs caramel malts and some toffee. Full bodied. Initially the aftertaste made me wince, but the beer improves a bit as it warms. The flavour was still a let down... every other aspect of the beer was great. I’m not sure I believe it’s only 8% due to taste and effects while I’m through only half the bottle.

bottle. pours a deep reddish brown...or shall i say mahogany? with a small tan head. aromas of caramel malts, wood and smoke with the presence of alcohol. flavor is much the same with vanilla, dark chocolate and toffee notes. leaves a slightly dry bitter finish with a bit of smoke. creamy and medium bodied. pairs very well with spicy grilled BBQ ribs.
