2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 21, 2008 Its like I don’t even want to waste my time and palate rating a beer that smells this bad. The beer is smoky, peppery spicy and meaty. All of these flavor would be good but they don’t blend well at all.
6/21 only fair to rerate this cause this time I actually like the jerky wood aspect of this stuff. Still very meaty and it goes really well with the stinky-ass cheese I’m eating.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
15 DEC 07, Southeast YeHa. bottle. Clear, dark brown. Smells like a pepper encrusted over cooked steak. Shoe leather.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a deep brown color with a big beige head. The aroma was odd with notes of licorice and root beer. The flavor was sweet with some fruitiness and licorice. Semi-sweet finish. Warmth in the throat.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A dark brown to almost black appearance. Some peppermint, caramel, and chocolate aromas. The flavor consists of more mint, plums, chocolate, and molasses. The finish is slightly alcoholic and sweet. Not bad but nothing to jump up and down hollerin HELL YEAH! about either.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a mid-sized, frothy beige head that slowly and nearly fully dissipates. The body is nearly transparent but just a shade of mahogany too dark. The nose is one of the most apparent examples of bubblegum esters I’ve ever been exposed to, straight into the flavor. Pepper and date notes are strong, followed by artificial notes of caramel, vanilla extract and crumbly white chocolate. Peppermint is so noxious and overdone it’s obscene, almost. The finish is salty and sweet, with a drying tendency that doesn’t quite materialize. The mouthfeel is oily, light-medium to medium bodied.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a wispy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty dark caramel biscuity malts with some earthy peppery spice, a lot of anise and a touch of light fruity esters. Starts fairly full and lightly sweet with a decent Belgian yeasty character toward a semi-dry finish. A pretty nice Belgian strong.
