3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma of raisins, caramel and chocolate malts, some red fruits. Hazy, very dark brown coloured with a brown, medium head. Taste is quite sweet, chocolate and caramel malty, raisins in it, some rye and red fruits. Slightly carbonated finish. Bit sticky and well-bodied. This brew has much potential. It is however way to sweet.

Nothing special with this one... the theme is unbalanced overall. Awkward blend of numerous tastes that add up to a weird sweetness with undeniable caramel tone. Wish I could distinguish more, but it ends here.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark brown, near black colored, medium sized lasting brown head. Aroma is sweet with toffee, caramel, chocolate and some berries. Medium bodied. Flavor is also very sweet with this toffee and berry tones, aftertaste is slightly sour with some biting carbonation and chocolate. Interesting Ale, still too sweet for my taste.
0.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Dark opaque brown with fluffy head. Aroma smells like bacardi rum. Flavor is horrible and my guess its due to an extremely old bottle? Who knows. Soem signs of caramel and raisin but other than this beer is so sweet it taste like liquid sugar.

12 oz bottle, The Beeryard, Wayne PA. Pours a clear dark brown with a ruby glow under a foamy one finger brown head. Nice retention with thick coating lacing. Aroma is sweetly malty with tons of fruity esters. Lots of banana, marshmellow, light yeast, and chewy malts. Flavor is all malt with lots of marzipan and soft fruitiness. Lots more banana up front as well. Finish is quite sweet with a little yeastiness. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a slightly cloying texture and soft fine carbonation. Overall, pretty decent but not a whole lot of complexity and depth to the flavor, just lots of fruity sweetness.
