| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 8, 2002 Nice, rich red color with a very mild, slightly metallic aroma. It has a rich caramel beginning, but a slightly bitter and somewhat watery finish. It’s a decent beer, but nothing I would seek out. hopscotch (5558), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

The aroma is excellent. Buttery milk chocolate and toasted pistachios and almonds.
The flavor is malty with chocolate and roasted nuts predominating... much like the nose.
Well-balanced, but thin and watery.
Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.
Crisp, clean finish with some coffee notes to finish things off.
