| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Bottle. Pitch black color. 1/2" foam head. Grapes, pinor noir classic roasted nut quality. Weak, absent inital taste but comes back at end with a subtle note of nuts, dates. This whole brewery really is playing at one tier below where they could or should be. Novelty marketing does not equal quality beer. can8ianben (911), Pasadena, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Big and bold in flavour, I didn’t get the body that you normally find in a good stout. Its a little watery for my taste, but it’s a good start. I also found myself wishing for a little bit more of a bolder hop presence, but oh well. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2007 Dark brown. Off-tan head slowly settles into a creamy surrounding. Roasted barley and pungent roasted malt scents leap from the glass. Hints of black currants, coffee, vanilla bean, and caramel. Lively carbonation. Brisk roast immediately coarsens the slick Ringwood-induced fruitiness. Velvety smoke comes by way of rich espresso which perpetually underlies the earthy and gritty roast. Diacteyl is well composed and merely serves as a complementary touch to the notably deep, rich and layered malt body. Toffee-like Munich notes generates a honeyed-biscuit quality as well. Plummy fruitiness enhances the black malt acidity which offers lift and heightens quaffability. Finishes dryly roasty with a silky swirl of caramel and roasted barley kissed wiith grittier underlying char textures and flavors. Another solid offering from this fun brewery.
