| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Bottle: Literally black, firm tanned head; sweetish "smoky" nose with traces of dried fruits and chocolate; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; sweet toasty and fruity-chocolatey finish with a roast-malty-bitter aftertaste. Unfortunately a bit too much on the sweet side, but otherwise a good, flavourful Stout...... brenn79 (208), Idaho, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2009 500 ml. bottle- Pours Black with a thick head, aroma is of alcohol. The flavor is roasted malt and the usual flavors in a Imperial stout. What intrigued me about this one is that it is an authentic Scottish stout, and a very good one at that. It’s not as bold as your typical Imperial American Stout, but it is smoother, and I could drink this all night. lumpsowers (252), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Motor oil pour, low head and lace. Smokey, bready aroma. Bitter malty flavor,with a wheaty bready mouth, and a lot of chocolatey bitter coffee flavors. Medium carb, thick, smokey roasted soy and worcestershire sauce. Lots of chocolate, like a milkshake. Some alcohol comes in at the end. Woody, biscuity, just a hint of worcestershire sauce. Outstanding.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 13, 2009 bottle - Pours near black with a nice tan head. The aroma is of roast malt and chocolate malt. It has a robust roast chocolate malt flavor with hints of coffee. It’s not too sweet and overall is a good, flavorful, easy drinking stout. ansermadide (516), Kyle, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 12, 2009 This fabulous stout holds a great, light brown, frothy head... Holds it shape very well. Color black and solid. Unmistakable roasted, almost smoky and woody chocolate aroma. Flavor is also unique: expands on the roasted aroma with a smooth chocolate finish. Possible coffee undertones with a bitter presence. This is a great beer! jkwalking05 (1485), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Bottled (BB 10/2010, @Kaisla)
Dark brown color, creamy brown head, some lace. Sticky, a bit sour milky lactose aroma, some mild chocolate. Flavor is a bit similar, sweet milky, some lactose, light sourness, chocolate or cocoa, roasted malts in the finish. Very milk stout -like. Flavors are not very intensive, so it is a bit bland despite of being powerful 7%.
