| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2008 Bottle: IMO this is better out of the bottle. Pours a rich deep brown/black with a generous foamy head. Smells delicious, like roasted coffee, chocolate malts, and some scalded milk. Great mouthfeel, rich flavor of burnt coffee, dark chocolate, maybe some vanilla. A little sweet, but very tasty. CP (124), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 1, 2008 One of the most heavily roasted malt flavors I have had in a beer. Simply put this is a very good beer, although I wouldn’t consider it a stout or "emperical stout" as they call it. I feel this is more of a porter. It is thin on the palate but leaves a nice aftertaste (more than I expected!) Not many flavors here, but it is well balanced. biggcb (464), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
