Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
2010 rating: Dark brown. The aroma is lightly chocolatey, perhaps a bit light. Extracty taste - a little gasoline, some light chocolate. Finishes a little extracty. Decent, drinkable, but hardly as nice as I thought it was last time around.
2004 rating: Cloudy, quite dark chestnut colour. Coffeeish aroma with caramel and cashew nuances. Toasty, coffeeish body with hints of nuts and creme brulee. Earthy, slightly toffeeish finish. 8-4-8-5-16 = 4.1

2010 rating: Deep straw, opaque. Bready aroma with light fruity hops, maybe hints of marshmallow. A little bit sweet and fluffy. At the back, the extract shows a little bit. Nice, rounded beer
2004 rating: Cloudy yellow-tan with white head. Sweaty, slightly bready, biscuity aroma. Fresh flavour of lime, sweat, buttermilk biscuits, vanilla. Very complex. Body is full; finish is long with lots of vanilla. 8-4-8-5-17 = 4.2
