| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2009 Dafk brown pour with tan head. Aroma of a chocolate covered orange, a bit of dust. Flavor is thin chocolate, light fruit, some syrupy sweetness. Orange peel and coriander really dominate this one in the beginning, but as it warms the other spices come through. Light cocoa. This is good, but certainly not great. Glad I got this on sale. gunnfryd (3573), Kristiansand, Norway
