| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 27, 2007 Bottle. Sweet to start, chocolatey, slightly ashy, earthy malt notes. Finish is bitter and slightly leafy in the finish. Roastyness is always there, probably a little less complex than i was expecting, but still a great stout. very tasty.

Soft roasted vanilla coffee nose rides undercurrents of lightly smoked cocoa. Dried dark currants and coffee tones round with hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Decent, but not in the world class league... frylock (1024), Buffalo, New York, USA

Roasty, coffee aroma with faint hints of smoke and licorice. Lightly sweet toffee notes lead into roasted barley and coffee flavors with a hint of smoked malt. Light milk chocolate flavors present as well. Thin bodied, but the alcohol is well hidden. Boutip (2364), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 24, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear black color ale with a small foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee is pleasant enough. Taste is a mix between some roasted coffee and lightly bitter malt. Body is a bit thin and carbonation is also low but alcohol was not discernable. I would have appreciated this beer even more with some black chocolate notes and some additional complexity. bu11zeye (5470), Frisco, Texas, USA
