| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2008 Dark and opaque, beige head that sits as a thin film for the whole glass. Round chocolatey aromas with some sweetness like raisins. Has quite port-like characteristics, dark fruits and a rosy glow. Thick and smooth. Great warm and boozy aftertaste with a lovely sweetness and a light whiskey smokiness. A beer for good cheer. DuffMan (2751), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Pours a clear dark walnut brown, moderate tan coloured head. Very roasty aroma, chocolate, dark caramel. Burnt malt, dark caramel, coffee and chocolate, medium bodied. Very bitter, reedy finish. More like a foreign stout than an impy IMO, but decent nonetheless. tronraner (1913), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Large bottle. Pours amber-hued black with fizzy tan head. Aroma is acidic coffee, earth, a little bit of raw licorice, and some wood. Flavor is roasty bitterness, some harsh coffee and wood tones. Very dry ashiness is all over, with a mild chocolate undercurrent. Decent, but a little bit weird. I enjoy the surprising dryness, But it really seems like it’s lacking something. chadcsu (10), Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Pours dark nice dark head. Good hop profile on the Stout with nice higher alcohol flavours. Good roasty flavours. BOLTZ7555 (1077), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Wow...after tasting the three brews I have from these guys, might pass on all other offerings. None of these are enjoyable...NONE!!! This beer is a dark mahogany pour with only a few bubbles accumulating to create a head. Burnt malt, overly sweet, and cloying. Strange sourness in the finish. Don’t waste your money!!! TeamTrappist (382), jericho, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Bottle,poured dark brown. nose was coffee and burnt malts. Flavor was similar to the nose with a big rich finish, and slightly thinner mouthful for the style. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 16, 2008 500ml bottle pours purple brown with a lot of light at the bottom. Dusty nose comes off as a strong dry stout - milk, dry dusty malts. Flavor is creamy and rich fudge and chocolate. Disappointing overall. Weak smell, dusty dry malts, fudge-heavy and astringent. Meh.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 1, 2008 From bottle. DLM Friday tasting. Pours dark brown with small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor continues with chocolate and coffee. Very rich mouthfeel. Alcohol is present but still a very good effort.
