| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 29, 2009 This dark brown stout poured with a fluffy tan head and a strong chocolate aroma. The head went away but the aroma didn’t. The flavor is rich chocolate with lots of carbonation and a dry hoppy finish. It’s a nice dessert beer. bhensonb (4372), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Bottle from Corti Bros. in Sacramento, CA. Pours rather like cola with a decent tan head. Aroma is chocolate over mild, dark malt. Near medium body with fizzy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is darkish chocolate with some dark malt bitter or maybe it’s from hop. Finishes quite dark and pretty dry. Rather tasty. curly (742), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Pours a deep black color with a thick tan head, leaving a light web lace. Aroma of sweet roasted malts, cocoa, and coffee. The taste is about the same with a slight hop bitterness. The malt is very sweet and plays on your tounge. Then the hops bounce around and leave a slight bitter note. This beer starts very malty and has a surprise hop balance. Well done, good brew. GG (1672), NorCal, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 18, 2009 The beer pours out a motor oil black color, huge 3" light tan/newspaper gray color. No light getting thru. Aroma starts out metallic. After a few minutes of breathing it opens up to a medium mocha aroma, with a touch of smoke and some light sour notes. Flavor has some light malt sugar, coffee & cream flavors, and a smidge of dark chocolate. Very restrained. Enjoyable though. Bov (5508), Bienne, Switzerland
