| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 4, 2008 Bottle. Heavy aromas of dark coffee, pumpernickel bread, toasted, and cereal for the malts, moderate resin for the hops, light earth for the yeast and tar in the background. Head is average size, frothy, light brown with excellent lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is black. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, and the long finish is moderately bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a soft carbonation. A pretty good Dry Stout with a bite to it chicagodri (1055), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Decent stout, not overwhelming. Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Nice aroma and flavor of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Very easy stout to drink. Solid. I got this is a stout sampler pack. Defreni (1005), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Flaske. Kæmpe skumhoved, der tog 5 minuter for at lægge sig. Rigtig solid lækker stout med en tand ristet smag, og en del humle. Men fint afbalanceret. God øl. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Roasty, coffee-e, some fruitiness in it somewhere. Interesting flavors in there, kinda yummy, but not as intense as just about every other Avery. Pawola22 (739), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark dark dark brown almost black with a creamy, finger-width, light brown head. Dissipates pretty slowly and remains quite lacy. Good looking stout. Mellow aroma of mostly milk chocolate with some light roasts, caramel malts, and bittering hops. Flavor is similar. Mostly backended. Mildly roasty and chocolatey with a really enjoyable bitter ending. Not as potent as other stouts, but very nice for a lower ABV. Pretty well balanced and light to medium bodied. Overall, nice flavor and great lingering bitterness. A very nicely done stout. drfabulous (1241), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 26, 2008 A season Avery made it to Columbia. How about that. Roasty. Bit of caramel and hops.Pours real nice with lots of head and body. The colder it gets outside, the better this will be. jrmac (213), USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 26, 2008 A pretty good lower ABV stout. Pour is black with a nose of coffee, chocolate, and malt. Flavor is similar. Would buy again in a pinch. TearsforBeers (173), Ohio, USA

Re-rate: my old rating was from my earlier, overly charitable days, this beer is pretty good, but not great.
