| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2008 Tasted 9/19/08. 12oz bottle. Pitch opaque with a finger width of khaki head. Heady aromas of toast and dark chocolate. Medium bodied with smooth character. Big cookie malt and chocolate flavors. Touch nutty. Mild, slight coffee flavor and acidity. Peanutbutter cookies with chocolate chips. Good roasted malts. Creamy with mild effervescence. I enjoyed this one. I guess I’m against the grain. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 6, 2007 Parting gift from RBSG 2007 - Black, thin tan creamy head. Nose held soft notes of roasted coffee and cream, with underlying charred chocoalte and toffee brittle tones. Well rounded roasted milk chocolate, coffee and cream flavors throughout, and just a touch of hops in the finish. Light to medium bodied and smooth, drying, bittersweet finish. Not bad at all for sessions. Thanks Joe? ebrowner88 (113), Rice, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 21, 2008 Updated: Apr 8, 2008Nice creamy head at poor. Aroma is nice! Creamy vanilla coffee. Head disapates after about a minute to leave a very nice veneer of foam over the top of the beer. Color is black, way black. Sweet malt taste, followed by roasted coffee. Weird acid tang for just a second before the bitterness touches you slightly. Leaves you with a slightly dry mouth. Very good cream stout. For 4.95 a sixer i had to give it a try. I think Degarth got a bad batch. This isn’t the best, but it ain’t to damn bad either. Went good with a peanut butter sandwich. daknole (3027), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

Pours black with a towering, surging, foamy tan head. Plenty of stringy lace showing. Nice-enough cola and liquorice nose. Rich creamy body. Plenty of sharp, stingingly lively carb. Chocolate, charcoal, liquorice on the mid-palate. Mild sweet finish. Not bad. Not much personality, but not too shabby. BDR (2169), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2007 Milk chocolate nose. Hazy dark brown coffee colored body. Coffee taste. Trev (887), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2008 Pours a nice dark black with medium tan head.
Aroma is strong coffee, dusty chocolate and licorice. Slightly smokey burnt malt underneath.
Flavour is again coffee and burnt malt with some licorice cut with an astringent bitterness that is almost overwhelming at first but softens as you drink.
Can’t quite get my head around this. One sip I’m cringing and the next sip I’m mulling it over...
