5.2

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5

Deep dark brown coloured body with a very thin tan head. Aroma of pungent malt, alcohol, pit fruits and a bit of toffee - although not much. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong flavours of malt, yeast and metal run through this one with a light pit fruit sweetness behind. Aftertaste shows nuts, metal and a fairly potent finish, albeit a bit breadie. Overall, not such a great beer - strong as hell and not very balanced. I sampled this half litre on draught at the San Francisco (Airport) location on 21-March-2009.
