| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 20, 2003 Excellent stout. So smooth that it seems like a hybrid sweet stout and Irish dry stout. Rick, the brewer, does a fine job with all the B.H. beers and this one is no exception. Rich, coffee and chocolate flavors are evident. Just the right amount of bitterness. Very warming, firm and enjoyable. Dogbrick (2855), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 13, 2002 Tasted at the Barrelhouse Brewing Company Microbrew Fest on November 9. This was my other favorite offering from Barrelhouse. Poured thick and dark. Sweet chocolate aroma. Flavor scored well with coffee, chocolate and toffee. This is the one to get on my next visit.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 18, 2005 Had this one on tap at the Barrelhouse as usual. It is a very good stout with all those lovely chocolate and coffee overtones in both the aroma and the flavor. The appearance is that of pitch with a slight head. The finish is nice without all the burnt lingerings of so many other stouts. bluemeow76 (693), Lewis Center, Ohio, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2004 Draft - very nice! Black as night with a light brown head of tiny, tiny bubbles.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2004 Deep black color (opaque) with no head. The aroma was very strong with roasted coffee beans, slight smoked wood, slight black licorice, dark chocolate. The flavor was quite sweet with a prominant roasty character...coffee, chocolate, slight lactic sourness in the finish. Slightly watery feel...not thin though...with a semi-dry finish.
