3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is an exceptionally unique beer. Black in colour with a thin dark cream head that leaves a nice residue on the glass. Aroma is sweet with star anise and treacle. What really impressed me about this beer is the palete. It is really smooth and seems to melt on the tongue. Flavour is malty and sweet with anaseed spices.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle pours dark black/brown with very thin quickly fading brown head. Aroma is very faint roasted malts, vanilla, cherry, and chocolate. Very light texture with sweet taste of cherries, tart. Interesting not what I expected. Decent, but taste and aroma are just not distinct and very weak.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice dark session beer. Had from bottle at Fogo de Chao restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. Dark color. Nice mouthfeel-- smooth and crisp. Not too filling. Coffee and malt flavors mix with a slight hoppyness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours dark with a tan creamy head that disappears quickly. This has a light roasted grain quality on top of a hazy grassiness. Nicely sweet on the palate with a roasty dark maltiness. Other than that, not much to it. Short finish.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
when poured in a glass this could be confused for A & W rootbeer. was hesitant to buy this since no one i knew had ever tried it and it is a little pricey. taste is smooth and drinkable, but will not drink again.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a plainish dark with very little head. Sweet with a bit of a bitter finish. Not horrible.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a very dark black with a small tan head. Sweet smell but I can’t really tell what it is. Taste is the same, there’s something there but I can’t put my finger on it possible a very delicate toffee flavor. Heavy-medium bodied, almost no carbonation, very smooth with no finish. For having very little to it I somewhat enjoyed this.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Surprised I haven’t tried this yet. Very dark inky black with caramel head. Not too thick and not too thin, just right. Above average sweetness. Brown sugary. Everybody says this is good and I agree!
