Pours a deep brown, with some translucency in the pour but none in the glass with a off white head. Aroma of malt and not much else. nearbeer (1834), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 2, 2008 355 ml, 07 vintage. Three-finger head settles into a nice-lasting spit atop the translucent chestnut brew. Faint molasses and dates in the aroma. Initial flavors are apples and bananas simmered with some cinnamon and cedar chips. Raisin, dark toasted bread, dry grass, and slight rum are my names for a few of the other flavors present in this multifaceted beer. Light medium body is surprisingly frothy, and mostly dry. rusty63 (4), England does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 1, 2008 Dark brown with a loose beige head. Dark malt aroma of dark malt with hint of chocolate banana. Medium to full body with modest carbonation. Rich malt flavour balanced with hoppy bitterness. Initial refreshing taste gives way to rich, slightly sweet, malt flavour with a hint of chocolate and treacle. A beer well worth trying. EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Clear reddish brown. Came highly recommended but was kind of bland to me. Good dark roast malt flavor, but with a hint of sour with a slightly metallic nose. Not bad, but kind of thin with flavors that don’t work together, at least for me. esjaygee (1519), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Light brown with off-white head. Aroma is caramel & roasted malts. Thin mouth feel to go with caramel taste and a chalky finish. The alcohol is prevalent and it’s a shade on the bland side.
