Significant, fluffy off-white head leaves sink holes as it recedes. Crisp, a little sour, and slightly metallic. brewblackhole (1369), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 23, 2007 Uber-deep amber appearance with a concentrated, light-beige head. Good, forward roasted malt aroma backbone with smooth vanilla, a hint of spicy nutmeg, a good dose of molasses and a mild fruitiness in the distance. Large dose of molasses pervades the beginning, middle and end of the flavour range, with a long bitter-chocolate finish eventually cementing the final impression. Tight carbonation helps keep this medium/full-bodied beverage refreshing. stison42 (318), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 20, 2007 750 ml bottle. Copper-orange color. 1" thick foam that slowly evaporates. Lightly hoppy, spicy, with hints of cinnamon. Distinctive brown sugar flavour on the end of the throat. Dry finish. Very enjoyable - had to check the funky label a few times to confirm it was a Sam Smith’s. JAF737300 (792), Tampa, Florida, USA
