| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 20, 2009 Not the worst beer I’ve ever had but there’s just not much to it. The dark creamy head collapses quickly and leaves a bit of disappointment in it’s wake. Burnt coffee aroma and not much on the palate.
Like I said though, not the worst beer i’ve ever had. KnutAlbert (3217), Oslo, Norway
