| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Beautiful, totally dark appearance with a large, light brown head and very good lacing. Roasted malt aroma complimented by bitter chocolate and coffee. Dry, earthy, toasty flavors with a restrained hop profile. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated, but not a lot of depth. Smooth, dry, lingering finish. thenick (746), North Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Bomber, shared. Pours a deep black with reddish tints on the end and a fluffy brown head.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 29, 2008 750 ml bottle from Canal’s Burlington. Wow this one poured AND had the mouthfeel of a nitro draught yet it came from a swing cap bottle. Poured a silky smooth pitch black with a super large foamy mocha colored head. Aroma was roasted malts, freeze dried coffee and chocolate with just a slight touch of hops. The mouthfeel on this one is awesome, so smooth yet no nitro keg or widget anywhere. Flavor is roasted malts, lite chocolate and coffee but just a good dose of roasted malts. This is one solid beer that looks and feels like a Guiness pub draught yet it’s a simple swing cap. michael-pollack (2713), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Non ho sentito la versione normale; penso che avrò l’occasione. JPDIPSO (4925), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
