Rich smell of roasted coffee and some sweet malts. The flavor is a very smooth combination of coffee, malt, brown sugar, chocolate and toffee. Very nice, smooth and well blended. Very good stout. shadey (1500), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2005 Flat black color with a dark tan head. Even cold there is a lot of roast aroma. Odd roast flavor. Sharp carbonated mouthfeel, not creamy at all like a sweet stout should be. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 2, 2005 Obsidian pour with a huge tan head. Aroma of malt, chocoff, some cognac, and a semi sour element. Tastes of chocoff, some nuts, some cognac and cabernet. Light on the palate for a stout. Finishes with a roasty, malty, chocoffy, somewhat dry finish. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 29, 2004 Opaque black body with a massive chunky dark Mocha head.
Chocolate and coffee dominate the aroma.
Chocolate and coffee again in the flavor with a slightly bitter roast malt touch. The body is a bit thin, but this remains a good drinkable Stout that will have it’s followers. I’d accept it as a Porter too. OldGrowth (1426), North Carolina, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 16, 2004 Very dark pour, almost black. Sweet vanilla in the nose with some roasted malt. Creamy chocolate but not too sweet. Dry clean finish. jerc (3945), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2004 Ruby accented black body, with a tan head that dissipates. Bit of roast in the aroma but not not a lot, bit of malt. Roasty malt is fairly subtle in the flavour, with a hint of sourness in the background. Interesting. Palate is far too light in my books for a stout, though it is not unpleasant. Odd but nice. Dickinsonbeer (3494), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 26, 2004 First of all- this was a little too overcarbonated. I like my stouts slightly carbonated. This is why I dont like bluefin stout. It had some good aromas and flavors- mostly roastiness with some chocolate- liek any other good stout. FInish was a little prickly due to the overcarbonation. Decent but not great.
