| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Aug 12, 2007 looks like guiness, roasted flovors extremely present. Very bitter with tons of coffe notes and perhaps chocolate at the end. thenick (746), North Bellmore, New York, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 19, 2007 Tap @ Salem Beer Works. Pours jet black with a tan head far too watery for the style. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, and slight oatmeal. Flavor...well, sadly not too much to report here. The roasted malt and coffee notes you get are good, but the beer overall is far too watery and weak for the style. Dogbrick (2864), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 27, 2007 Sample at Beer Works Fenway: This beer is a very dark brown color (almost black) but not completely opaque. Medium thin light tan head that dissipates slowly and rings of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Medium body with a coffee and chocolate character. Light hops and malt are present too. The finish is roasty with a coffee finish that is ultimately short-lived. Another slightly above average offering from Beer Works. scraff (1946), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 2, 2007 Black, creamy tan head. Nose held notes of soft coffee, toasted chocolate, and cream. Well roasted flavors of all the above with more mild toasted coffee and chocolate notes. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish. Sessionable I guess, but nothing worth seeking out...

Pours a deeper brown with lots of ruby highlights and a medium tan bubbly/creamy lacing head. Aroma was kidn of light with some roasted malts, chocolate and coffee.
