| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Deep black pour with brown head. Aroma is of cocoa, chocolate, sweetness. Taste is of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, sweetness. Leaves a dry mouthfeel. Some bitterness at the end. Leaves lacing on the glass. Alcohol is hidden. The roasted malt flavor lingers in my mouth.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 6, 2009 Bu au Mondial 2009, le 4 juin (#11). Brunée torifiée, peu de collet. Arome de réglisse malté avec un peu d’alcool. Goût de et de petits fruits, mocha malté avec une finission sec. Peut-être pas le bon style mais assé savoureuse! zapprentice (310), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 26, 2009 Aroma is interesting, chocolates, roasted coffee. Flavor does not uphold those notes, bland watery finish. Not impressed. LilBeerDoctor (1493), East Setauket, New York, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 25, 2009 Bottle. Aroma quite roasty with bitter chocolate, vanilla, and a few too many prunes and such. Flavor brings on some fairly weak coffee with roasted edges, again too many prunes. It’s ok, no idea how fresh this is, though I’d bet not fresh enough. DerWeg (760), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 23, 2009 Very compact and clean package displaying hints of sour chocolate, nuts, and toffee, some dry fruits, brown shuggah, hint of smoke & lingering touch of hops. Blackish brown pour, brown highlights and tan head. Unexpectedly crisp, it slowly insinuates - the finish becomes rather long, the aroma fairly complete and it has a lot to offer with a very different ’classy’ Euro approach compared to the brazen west-coasties. Try one!!
