| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Updated: Feb 16, 2009pours mostly black with brown at the edges and a long lasting creamy beige head from the nitro tap. lots of lacing left on the glass as the beer recedes. aroma is very faint... i pulled out some chocolate, roasty grain and a coffee-like nuttiness. the flavor is a bit bland and watered down as well... soft sourness, chocolate, earthy coffee-ish, grain and light ash in the aftertaste. light to medium body, seems kinda flat and empty in the mouth and a bit watery. 5/4/6/2/13/3.0
on cask. the board stated it had been aged for one year...
so smooth... aromas of coffee, nuts, roast, hints of chocolate, pine and fruit. the palate has a slight lactic sourness throughout.... flavors of ashy roast, chocolate, caramel and a nutty coffee element. there is an aftertaste of roasty ash which lingers on. creamy cask texture at first but quickly becomes completely still lacking any carbonation. this makes it feel a bit thin mid-palate. not terribly complex but it is far superior to the regular... which makes me think that they should just make the regular better???8/4/7/2/15/3.6 cbkschubert (2030), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 10, 2005 Very dark brown colour. Light aroma balances chocolate and roast. Smooth, sweet palate with light coffee notes. Fairly sweet flavour, again featuring coffee and chocolate in that order. Bit of a quick finish, though. Straightforward but reasonable example, with nice body.
