3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 JPDIPSO (5124) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 6, 2015
Dark, dark cherry color with a tall light brown colored head. Hops dominate the aromas with some minor darker malt nuances in the background. Fairly light in feel. Light sweet licorice in the front, not as much of a turn off as usual for me, but still not real high on my list of pleasantries. Middle has a mix of red vines and darker malt. Finish gets darker, with some roastiness and ash working their way in. Some blueberries seem to work in as well. Young, perhaps; or perhaps just not quite balanced. There are parts I really like followed by some, not so much. 2/10

"a big beer with a flavor and aroma profile resembling a strong schwarz (i see your shawarz is as big...). anyway. chocolate and hops in the aroma. medium to full bodied. you can taste the sweetness on the figs and a touch of the pepper, but while i love all the parts, the final product is a little bit of a muddled beer. slightly too aggressive to be great, and while still good, one of my least favorite stone beers. maybe itll grow on me...i started out not caring much for it, and liked it by the end..."
