| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2004 Bottle: Poured a dark colored beer with a medium head with good retention. Aroma is comprised mostly of roasted malts with some subtle spice mix. Taste is quite different from what I expected and I would described as a mix between a dry stout and a Belgian ale. Roastiness is prevalent but you can still see the Belgian inspiration in this beer. Body is above average. Overall, this is a fine drink and I applaud the fact that the brewer tried to brew something different. Drew (2410), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 12, 2004 Toasty and slightly roasty, this has a nice sparkling black appearance and an easy to drink medium thick body. Hints of smoke and fruit float thru the flavors. eaglefan538 (2405), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 6, 2006 Blah. Poured brown with red edges. Small head that dissipated quickly, but provided ok short-lived lacing on the edges. The aroma was funky, oaky, with some chocolate. The flavor was similar but with a sweetness that was again oaky. I don’t know, something about this bottle makes me feel like it has been around for that many years. Definitely comes across as a belgian schwarzbier, a combo that I’m not sure is a good thing.

The aroma is sweet and malty with a very slight woody note and a touch of candy sugar. The flavor is sweet and malty with a nice caramel/candy sugar note and a touch of wood.

Aroma was of bittersweet chocolate malts and some smoke. Flavor was very malty, with minimal hops present. Chocolate and molasses dominated, with a pronounced smokey backgground. Medium bodied with a very smooth, creamy finish. Nice, easy drinking beer. I would definitely try it again. drewbeerme (2316), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 26, 2007 12oz bottle stolen from holdenn, sorry. pours dark brown with hint of red and off white head. nose is very bready, yeasty, almost sour note, and b.o. flavor is musty, dry, bland, slighty nutty with dried dark fruits. mouth feel is watery. this nose and flavor are pretty boring. i don’t get the point of this beer.
