| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 15, 2008 Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a thin ring of wispy light tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark chocolate and some tart light fruity notes. Body starts somewhat thin for the style with decent dark chocolate flavor, but an unexpected and likely infected tartness before a drier, slightly earthy roasty and tart finish. Would be pretty good without the tartness. maniac (2773), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 23, 2007 Surprisingly light colored - like Iced Tea that had steeped too long. Milk Chocolate aroma, som whiffs of burnt toast, too. Flavors of dark chocolate and coffee and dryish finish. Nice stuff. Sampled at 2007 Hickory Hops ChainGangGuy (2619), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brownish-red body with a small, frothed, light beige head.
Smell: Ugh, it’s alot like a mild, dark lambic, if there were such a thing. Azalea Coast... what have you wrought?
Taste: A displeasingly tart, bordering on vinegar fruitiness really works hard to derail the chocolate malts and hint of cocoa. Each sips lives you with more of the caustic acetic taste and less of the chocolate. Leaves you with a chalky, tart aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: Never trust a pirate! Bockyhorsey (2561), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 7, 2008 22oz bottle courtesy of ucusty. Mild coco aroma along with some wet coffee grounds. Some metalic aroma also. Black body with tan fizzy head. Flavor had a carbination cola to it that seemed to be oerpowering a sweet chocolate flavor that was trying to get your attention. Some coffee flavor as well. Had the aromas of a stout but tasted like a porter to me. Decent brew.
