| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 29, 2008 This beer is the first beer that brought me into the world of microbrews and I drink it as much as I drink any stout. Flavorwise it is not misrepresented: you can vividly taste the coffee and licorice presence with a clean, dry (somewhat hoppy for a stout) finish. Good stuff. railcat1 (582), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 27, 2008 Fantastic beer! Black, thick, coffee flavored beer that is great alone or with a hot meal on a cold winter day. This beer is flavorful, but not overwhelmingly so, like several other coffee or chocolate stouts I’ve tried. Snojerk321 (2021), San Diego, California, USA

Pours a deep hazy brown with a medium sized beige head, good lacing. Aromas of roasted coffee and cocoa dominate the nose. Flavor about the same with a clean dry finish. Thanks for this one!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2008 bottle poured into a snifter has a dark brown with some red color as it is held to a light. carbination seems to come off soft leaving a light ring of tan foam on the glass and some lace like patterns on the surface. aroma has a nice roasted coffee bean, chocolate malt, caramel, and some moss. fairly good looking stout in the glass. mouth feel is medium with a certain creamy texture. flavor hits smooth with the chocolate malt and coffee roast hitting it off real well together. continues smooth with a lighter body and alcohol than i would have expected from dogfish who usually goes so big. really a nice brew without too much sweetness really focusing on the coffee roast with the chocolate keeping it in check. could be a bigger beer for sure but really nice as it is.
