#62 - Caledonian Brewery - Dutchman
This beer is really not to my taste. It has strong flavors of orange, chocolate, and coriander. None of this is a particular problem on my palate, but there is something slightly off, as though the chocolate has split, making the whole thing taste rather artificial. At 4.5% the alcohol isn't quite high enough to be a flavor in its own right, but is significant. If I'm quite honest, there really isn't much to like about this beer (a fact that can be readily verified by other reviewers). Were the flavors to work, it would need a much darker malt and perhaps an extra jolt of booze. Others may disagree, and certainly it is a fairly unique beer in the mainstream market, but for my money, this is a beer to avoid. 4/10
