| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Very enjoyable stout. Pleasant dryness with good malt/caramel flavor. Fine on the palate (not bad not great). I would drink again. Petrucci914 (586), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Pours a pitch black with a small foamy tan head that quickly dissipates, leaving plenty of sticky lacing. Aroma is roasted coffee with some hop bitterness. Taste is very dry, with roasted coffee being most pronounced. The palate is grassy bitterness. ZiggyG (131), Gladstone, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours pitch black with a fluffy dark tan head. Nose is dark roasted coffee with a good dose of caramel/toffee. Taste is very roasted and sweater than I expected. Nice round mouthfeel not as thick as some definitely not chewy. A touch of hops bite at the end. Pretty nice stout. VitaminR (438), Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 17/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Rich, nutty, chocolate nose, some coffee and burnt caramel too. Deep brown/black with amber hues. Solid malty sweetness, subtle smokiness. Surprisingly a little too light-bodied for a stout. Overall nice easy drinking stout.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Dark classic stout pour with a nice rich soapy medium brown head that leaves a sticky pattern on the glass. Aroma is big. Lots of roasted notes, coffee, and hop. The flavor of this beer is definitely not shy and pretty much follows the aroma with the addition of dark chocolate. The hop adds a significant bitterness that has staying power. I would prefer the hop effect to be lessened but this is a bold an enjoyable stout. KimJohansen (7126), Copenhagen V, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Black with meidum light brown head. Aroma i sweet with roasted malt, loads of chocolate, hops and coffee. Sweet chocolate flavor that also holds coffee, hops, hard roasted malt and overripe fruits. Very dry with a bitter finish. Nice! awaller05 (301), Sharon, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 9, 2008 Aroma of this one is laced with a metalic smell. As the beer is poured it seems to leave little or no head at all. First taste is a slightly bitter taste with a coffee flavor in the backround. Not one of my favorites but enjoyable enough.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 9, 2008 Black body with minimal tan head. Rich malty aroma earthy hints of espresso and some roastiness. More roastiness in the flavor, but the chocolate, moderately sweet, is still the primary malt flavor. The hops show up mid-taste and work toward a good roasty/bitter swallow. Good body. Not the best of stouts, but quite a good one.
