| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 6, 2007 Are you kidding, black strap molasses?...hell yes! This is a great try for a stout. Pours dark brownish-black with tan head...had 2 fingers worth. Taste the roasted, coffee, sweet, cream was around mouth. All-spice? Not a Guinness stout, afraid to go dark, start w/ this...will not leave you filling "full"...great desert beer w/ choc or bread pudding. extremeicon (109), Wichita, Kansas, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 23, 2007 A very disappointingly average stout. Dark, opaque red with a decent sized tan head. Not much aroma to speak of apart from a very faint coffee. Flavor is about what you’d expect from a stout (coffee, a bit of dark chocolate), but very subdued. As it warmed it became a bit more complex with alcohol and a faint sweetness becoming more prevalent but overall quite uninteresting. djd07 (755), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a small but lasting tan head. Has a very strong aroma of chocolate and spice with hints of roasted malt. Laces that stays while tastes of chocolate and a nutty dry finish. a decent stout. johno (84), Galveston, Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 1, 2007 Pours a deep, dark brown, dark lasting head. Aroma is all malt, rich, dark chocolate, that sweet molasses they speak of; great. However, looks & aromas can be deceiving, and in this case gave way to a palate that was far too light-bodied and thin for my liking. Surprising (and not in a good way) bitterness throughout, and a quick, sweet finish that leaves one wondering where the flavor and complexity is. Disappointing. cyanescens (159), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 1, 2007 Tastes smokey, coffee, chocolate, hoppy. Not a bad stout. It was very sweet, which I appreciate. Rich, ingredients were put into this beer. SJP (483), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Pours a nice thick dark brown, with a good tan foamy head that diminishes down to a thin covering. Hints of licorice an chocolate in the nose. Notes of baker’s chocolate and roasted grains make it very enjoyable, but n over carbonated, acidy finish kind of sours it for me. Otherwise not bad. keith0718 (165), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 17, 2007 A very good, but easy-going stout which is just ever so slightly lacking some malty fullness. However, this is a great beer: tastes great and goes down easy. A good "everyday" beer. recordjunkie5 (20), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Apr 8, 2007 Not bad stuff. Too much carbonation for a stout in my opinion, but the flavor is there. Dark pour, not much of a head in my pint glass, but others say otherwise. Good stuff, reccomended.
