| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 4, 2005 beer pours a deep, rich black with a dense tan head that laces well. aroma is very malty - a sweet maltiness has that wonderful notes of roast and chocolate. a very clean and well rounded nose. the flavor is more of the same - a richy maltiness with a smooth bite from the roasted barley. no particular hop flavor, just some IBUs. the beery has a very creamy texture, and is a very easy-drinking stout.
this is definately a sweeter stout, with the roast flavors being well balanced with the maltiness. very good, and not a common beer style.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 22, 2005 Deliciously sweet and thin, with a touch of sourness, as well. A very enjoyable beer more in the vein of a porter, to be frank. Not a hop to be found. Yes! Also, just the slightest hint of roast. All in all, for thinnish, malty porter afficionados, this is your beer! Ray1975 (251), Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, USA
