3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a beautiful, clear ruby with a small cream head that does not linger. Aroma of roasted malt, biscuit and cracker. Chewy mouthfeel follows through with the same roast, malt throughout and a sweet finish. Slight watery finish
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark ruby, kind of brown colour with a bubbly off-white head. bubbles clinging to my glass. The smell is caramelized sugar, dark fuits, light spicy yeast. The taste has dark malt sweetness, toffee, dates, and again there is a little bit of belgian spiciness inthere - clove, cardamom. Also just a slight tinge of a metallicness in there. No alcohol flavour or warmth. The body of the beer is pretty light with comparatively high carbonation, but its not like champagne or anything. finish is spice and burnt sugar.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured from a bomber into a pint glass. Color was brownish black, but closer to black. Just over an inch of head. Tannish white lacing with some sporadic bubbles in there. Healthy amount of film on the sides.
Smelled dark chocolate malts. Also coffee, caramel and toffee in there as well.
Tasted malts, but couldn’t distinguish the favorite. If a gun was to my head, I’d say dark chocolate. Definitely dark malts, but relatively bland overall. Nice smooth finish.
Medium body. Creamy finish. Average carbonation. Smooth abrupt finish.
A decent beer overall. Nothing too special, but it gets the job done. I’d give it another go some time.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber bottle. Quickly dissolving dirty sandy head with covering but thin and fast lacing over a dark red body. Fragrant soap, with notes of funky fish, grocery aroma. Mildly sweet taste like sweet milk chocolate. Palate is medium thin body with good carbonation and pleasant feel. Overall, OK. Draught is better.
