2.96/5  rDev -21.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Appearance:
The beer pours a dark brown and obscure beer with very little brown head.

Smell:
I get notes of coffee and roasted malt and a bit of sweet oats as well as possibly some dark chocolate.

Taste:
I get hops and a bitter taste as well as a slightly watery taste.

Mouthfeel:
Medium bodied and unusually smooth with biting carbonation.

Overall:
An okay beer and it seem to have improved based on the Alstrom Brothers' review from 2004. I probably might pick one up the next time its released.

Serving type: bottle
