| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 24, 2007 Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is medium to dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, roasted nuts), with a note of brown sugar. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively/fizzy carbonation. Not a very pleasant carbonation level/texture (almost like soda-pop), kinda wet and syrupy too. Very simple but somewhat attractive aroma. Needs more bitterness to balance the big sweetness (the nose portends correctly). luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA
