| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 26, 2010 Bottled. Poured rich cola brown with a dirty beige head. The aroma picked up sweeter, toasted chocolate and caramel notes with a thick dose of unpleasant cleanser accenting.. the off-notes faded a little as it breathed.. not so enticing. The flavor was led by molasses at the core with a touch of coffee.. vanilla and smoke accented.. dry, earthy bitterness over molasses on the sweet-ish finish.. definitely better than the nose, but still sharp at the end. Medium-bodied with a dry, scratchy overall feel on the palate.. sharp malt-inspired sourness too.. didn’t do much for me. scrizzz (1407), Bothell, Washington, USA
