| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 16, 2004 Pint bottle, nonick glass. Toasted light bread, mild coffee, milk chocolate, oatmeal malt (M); brown sugar, grape jelly, smoke aromas. Somewhat light on the nose. Tall, frothy, tan head is slowly diminishing and sits on a black body (not opaque). Moderately sweet, lightly acidic flavor becoms a lightly sweet, lightly bitter, lightly acidic finish. Fairly fruity for a stout, IMHO. Medium-heavy body, velvety texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: more like an oatmeal porter than anything else. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2004 It's ok. Dark, almost black but the head is thin, wispy and short-lived. The aroma is chocolate and toffee adn the flavor has a milky tast to the mostly chocolate flavor. Low level of roasting. Sweet, but not cloying. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 25, 2004 Aroma is the best thing going here, chocolate and toffee mainly. Appearance is dark with a faint head. Flavor is watery with some sweet chocolate thrown in. This is a little too light for my liking. Watery palate. Nothing offensive in the taste, just very little taste to speak of. No "Big Willie Style" if you will. I'll pass on this in the future. biermonk (259), San Francisco, California, USA
