| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 13, 2009 No screwin’ aroung here! Poured with a big thick, lucious, creamy, foamy head, but not all that much lace. Aroma is coffee, dark ripe fruits, brandy, malt, and a bit roasty. Flavor’s about the same, but a lot more sweet. Coffee flavor’s a little like when it’s brewed to strong and gets an over done taste; although, this is certainly a very well done brew. Alcohol comes on a little at the very end. So big, not a session beer. Nice finish. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Taste 4/9 bottle. Looks: Black body with a tan top. Aroma: Fresh coffee, toasted malt, some wood and vanilla. Taste: Woody, a little chocolate and very acidic coffee in a thick body. The aroma was nice. The taste wasn’t. Unbalanced, sweet and very acidic. dkachur (2351), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2009 22 ounce bottle from State Line. Brewed Winter 2008. Pours a thick viscous black color with a thin head. Decent retention and fair lacing. Aroma of bitter coffee, chocolate, nutty roasted malts, maple. Taste is rich chocolate, rich and slightly bitter coffe, rich roasted malts, maple and vanilla. It’s rich. Full bodied. Barely any alcohol noticeable. njbfr (105), New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Dark brown with a big tan head. Aroma is very light coffee and malt and metallic. Flavor is very sweet with a very heavy metallic taste. Probably just a bad bottle. Extremely annoying though as nothing from Southern Tier is inexpensive. Finish is very nice roasted coffee and very warming. Even getting past the metallic taste, I still don’t really care all that much for the flavor.
