| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 19, 2006 Light and refreshing for a stout. But no lack of flavor. Like drinking a piece of rye bread withoult the bulk. Also hint of some dark dry fruit such a prunes. carl4beer (400), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

Moathful has a big rye bitterness that complements the roasted malt well. Nice dry finish. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 27, 2006 12 oz bottle thanks to santa. Black pour with a small head. Aromas were roasty with just a tuch of that chocolate/coffee expected. Flavors were very roasted malt, with a touch of burnt that made me think porter. Some rye flavor in the malt.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | May 11, 2006 Glad I finally got to try this one. Pitch black pour with a nice though small brown head. Aroma is strongly rye, bready, with nice stouty undertones. There is a lot of rye in the flavor, too, maybe too much so, that cover up the roastiness. Tastes a little "cold," for lack of a better term. Rich and creamy palate. I always love experimental brews like this. This one has a really unique taste.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2006 Updated: Jun 12, 2006Bottle (12oz). via Trade with Pailhead - thanks, K!. Enjoyed at about 12 degrees celsius. Poured deep ruby-brown with a large creamy-foamy tan head. Typical stout/porter dry roastiness (chestnuts, light coffee/chocolate with a hint of tart fruit and cream) - plus a somewhat sour rye and hop tang - not incredibly balanced, but appealing nonetheless. Taste is a continuation of the aroma - sour fruit overtones with a backbone of rye and roast, quick slightly bitter finish, but mostly dark roast malt. Mouthfeel is creamy and fairly thick, rather flat and a touch acidc - I liked it! Decent lactic character really makes this a smooth drink. yobdoog (1441), Woodridge NY, New York, USA
