Black with a creamy, beige head and robust flavors of coffee and chocolate, roast, and a touch of sweetness. Very decent stout, but wish they’d bring back the espresso stout...mmm, mm, m!

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 10, 2005 Coffee aroma. Something is off in the nose, though not sure what. Nice lace. Opaque body. No head. Pretty good. No flaws. Could be more complex in its flavors. Very nice. Just could be better. But, lives up to its ranking as the #1 rated Big River brew.

-Appearance: Deep brown to black
-Flavor: Nice chocolate malts with a kick of liquor/whiskey (maybe even Bailey's...had kind of a sweet creamyness)
-Palate: Smooth and creamy yet a tad on the watery side
-Overall:Not bad but not great. I like my stouts a little bit more hearty

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 18, 2004 Coffee, chocolate and plums are all present in the aroma. Brown-black body. Moderately sweet flavor becomes a lightly bitter, roasty finish. Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: decent, but need a touch more body and flavor.
