| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 19, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Roasted coffee beans, biscuity cereals and blueberry esters whip up a drinkable example of the Stout family.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the brownish-black.
-The nose is very timid, which is a shame.
-You have to love coffee to enjoy this one. It’s a tad intense on the espresso flavors.
-The body was well rounded and carbonation smooth enough to make it drinkable.
-The finish was quite roasty and bitter, but not overly so.

I get this beer every time here and it looks as excellent as it tastes./ Pours with a good head, tastes frothy, and has yet to disappoint. cazort (421), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2007 The aroma is heavy, of caramel, with substantial roast, but the roast not dominating. The carbonation is very thin and smooth, like an Irish dry stout. There’s only a hint of bitterness; there’s a little sweetness though too, and a little sourness. The characteristic that really stands out in this beer though is the high alcohol content--you can taste the alcohol too readily; in my opinion a beer this thin and smooth should have less alcohol because the body and flavor do not mask it well. Bottom line? This is the best beer I’ve tried from BruRm so far, but it’s only average. jcwattsrugger (5583), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 15, 2006 Dark brown almost black with a medium brown head. Nice coffee aroma to it with hints of chocalate. Mouthfeel is pretty thin for a stout. Nice amount of bitterness, but could use a bit more. Starts to lose its luster near the end of the beer. Flavor is also somewhat weak.
