| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of rich roasted malt and some burnt/charred notes. Flavor is also quite roasted and burnt with some bitter chocolate and light nutty notes. A sturdy palate. I enjoyed this in my beer geek infancy about a year ago and I still enjoy it today!
7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5) randyjo (5), Kansas, USA does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 12, 2009 thanks unclemike: Aroma is coffee, hops, and a hint of alcohol. Pours black with nice finger and a half of white fluffy head. Flavor of hops, with a little bit of chocolate and coffee kicking in the end. Feels light in the mouth for a stout, and oily, but goes down very easy, like a stout you could chug. I like it though.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2009 Light beige head that settles slowly and into a rocky foam. Light shines through--dark, dark brown.
Lots of chocolate and slightly chaulky. Smells like there’s a touch of cream.
Far more coffee flavored than the smell would indicate. Lots of black patent malt. Chewy body with high carbonation. The aftertaste is all black coffee.
Very flavorful dry stout. Much more bitter (from burnt barley) than the average dry offering.
