| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Yeah #960. Pours a dark brown body with a tan head.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 27, 2009 Pours a brown color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, a hint of dark fruits, and a little molasses. Flavor is the same, a little watery but not too much. Thought this was better the first time I had it a couple years ago. nickd717 (1327), Palo Alto, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 27, 2009 On tap at Red Restaurant in Santa Cruz. Don’t like their description much - calling something "dark beer" is sort of rookieish, I would know being the world’s #1 beer expert. Oh well, the beer is decent. Dark reddish-brown in color with a small off-white head. Aroma of roast, dark fruit, and cocoa. Flavor is roasted malt, yeast, cocoa, and some fruity notes. Mouthfeel a little light, but adds to drinkability. SorenE (111), , New Zealand

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown to near black opaque pour with a foamy tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, dark chocolate, light cocoa, and malt. Taste is more roasted malts, but rather sweet in spots with chocolate, light caramel and cocoa. At times I thought this could be a schwarzbier. Body is light-medium with soft carbonation. Someone thought it was flat upon tasting it. Ends with more sweet malts, roasted, smoky notes, cocoa, and dark chocolate. Faint caramel here as well. Good beer! greig (171), Hamilton, New Zealand
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Ruby red, with a toasty caramel aroma. Reminds me of an English mild, but with more alcohol. Hints of coffee and wholemeal bread. This is a surprising and tasty beer.
