| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 31, 2008 I thought this was rather weak for a stout; but maybe I have just grown accustomed to the monsters like Stone and Old Rasputin, or even Rogue Shakespeare. Decent enough, I guess. douglas88 (1648), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Opens with a huge pop from the swingtop. Pours a dark black color with a huge and creamy brown head, and lots of lacing. A very nice aroma; loads of roasted malts, chocolates, some light coffee. The taste is just a great dry stout; lots of roasted malts, a dry fruity finish, some dry coffee and milk chocolates. I’ll always love this type of beer, and this is a great example of this style.
