3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz brown bottle. Pour is really dark almost opaque with lots of foam action within – pretty! The aroma is debonair, with hints of chocolate flavored nestle quick mix. Very nice darker tan head, may even be approaching the color of chocolate mouse. Impressive hardy first taste that fades to something a little more inquisitive. Its interesting roasty malt bite fades to a genial flavor of beer. A short mild bitterness accompanies the finish. Almost as good as Yuengling black & tan.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours bold red mahogany with nice looking beige head. The aroma is a bit roasy, and gets maltier as it warms. The flavor is also roasty with some caramel and nut hints; ashy toward the middle, and a nice, bitter hoppy finish with dry aftertaste. Tastier than I was expecting.

3.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured from the 12 oz bottle. This is dark roasty brown with a thin tan head. The aroma is distinctly baking chocolate and coffee grinds. In the flavor, the bitterness of the baking chocolate is still there, but there’s also a sweet flourish and light "bodiedness" to it that did not live up to the aroma’s promise. The flavors mellow more as the beer warms and the palate adjusts. OK, but somewhat a disappointment. (#2689, 2/7/2007)
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz. Brown black color with a small fizzy head. Sweet sugar aroma and bakers chocolate. Light roasted flavors, very light on the palate and sweet, too sweet. It is what it is, and its simply alright.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A red-brown beer with an OK brown head. The aroma is quite light, what is there is sweet with notes of chocolate. The flavor is sweet with light notes of chocolate, and with a good hop bitterness to balance the sweetness. The body is quite light, so it reminds me mostly of an English style Porter.
