2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Thanks to Santa for this one in trade. Pours an opaque brown with a small, off-white head that disappears. Nose is malt, earth, a hint of caramel, and a hint of smoke. Flavor is light malt, smoke, and a bit of residual sweetness. Light in body and not bad.
2.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
from nick on 12/16/10.
Dark woody brown pour with reddish tints.
Nice aroma… really toasty and warm… peaches, nuttiness, faint smokiness and florals.
The flavor is the same initially. After the first sip it turns decisively sour and clearly infected (hopefully it wasn’t intended to taste this way!).
It is crisp and easy drinking otherwise. 8/4/3/3/
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A dark, mahogany pour with a white head. It has a roasted, dark chocolate aroma. The medium body has an oily texture and average carbonation. The taste is mildly sweet at first, then fades to a roasted, semi-bitter finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a medium/dark brown with little head. Aromas light chocolate, raisin and prune with a little bit of a leathery edge to them. Flavor is the same, but a little unpolished around the edges with booze sticking out and such.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear dark amber with a thin white head and good lacing. Good carbonation. Aromas of slightly sweet and toasted malts with some breadiness, a bit of coffee and a slight dose of hops. Taste is decently smooth and rich with a malty base, a touch of coffee and toasted malts and very slight hops finish. Very sessionable.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours light brown with some weak fizzy head that fades and weak lace. Nose is sweet bread, caramel, low intensity floral hops and something else that reminds me of a lager. Taste is again sweet and malty breads, light roast character, and semi dry in the finish. Carbonation is light and has medium body. It’s quality made for the style, I’m sure but not a favorite of mine.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle courtesy Decaturstevo. Pours a clear reddish orange color with a light layer of white head. Aroma is caramel malt and quite bready. Lots of yeast in this. Flavor is bready with sour grains and some light vegetables. Bitter dry finish.
