| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 19, 2009 12oz bottle from total wine and more in atlanta. black pour with a big tan head that disappears quickly. roasted malts and molasses in the aroma. chocolate, dark fruits, roasted barley and coffee in the taste. thin to medium texture with light carbonation. finishes up a dry chalky bitter with a slight metallic vibe. rader58 (173), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Pours a deep black color with very little head. Aroma of Molasses, chocolate and caramel. Taste is of heavily toasted malt, coffee and a hint of toffee. Good, smooth. 22415brewery (65), redmond, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Jet black and pours with very little to no brownish head. Roasty aroma and as it warms a tinge of licorice, molasses and dark brown sugar. Hop presence is a bit much and the residual sweetness is a little too prominent for this dry stout. I would have liked to have tasted a bit more of the molasses/treacle character and even though molasses can only offer so much before becoming cloying, there could be other adjuncts that would help refine the aroma and flavor more so that it would be more reflective of the name. Instead the roasted malts tend to dominate and give a minorly tart finish. scrizzz (1267), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Faint dry roast aroma, jet black, looks somewhat thin, dense tan head. Solid flavor, a bit sweet, malt driven and finishes roasty. Very easy to drink, satisfying. Fratto (712), Arlington, Texas, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Sep 19, 2009 Bottle to a pint. Musty chocolate aroma. Taste is almost sour. Too thin and fizzy. KyotoLefty (1404), Kyoto, Japan
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Draught at the Bridgeport Brewery.
Lovely fine, long-lasting head. Smooth, creamy mouth. Woody flavor with coffee. Rather dull and bland. Slightly sweet, and a bit tart as well. Flavor can’t keep up with appearance.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 1, 2009 Weak soy sauce and prune aroma. Black with a medium tan head. Dry and slightly tart. Flavors of charcoal and cream sherry. Sweet-tart plum finish. There’s no mistaking the style and it’s very drinkable, but there isn’t much else happening. A modest upgrade from Guinness, but that might be debatable too. It does have its own character, though. craftbeerdesign (752), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 25, 2009 bottle. a really nice stout from BridgePort... it pours a light black, but settles darker, with a quarter inch tan head... which lasts throughout... really nice appearance. some coffee and roasted malt aromas... very smooth medium body that almost melts in your mouth... some slight chocolate notes come around and some big roasted malts. nice semi-sweet finish that leaves a really nice aftertaste. solid.
