| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 22, 2007 Bottle. Poured mostly black with hints of garnet at the edges and onfinger light tan head. Aroma had vanilla, wood, and malts. This one didn’t capture me like some of the other stouts I have been drinking. Flavor got better with time. I get roasted malts, vanilla, and some dark fruit. Maybe the slightest bit of chocolate. The mouthfeel is thin and the finish has some metallic tendencies. I would opt for other stouts in the future. golubj (1290), Sunnyvale, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 21, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown alomost black, thinnish tan colored head. Aroma is vanilla, caramel, roasted malt, some oak. Flavor is huge vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, roasted malt, oak, very faint hint of bourbon. Palate is medium bodied, mildly carbonated, sweet, smooth finish. Flavor is really nice, maybe too much vanilla almost to the point where it seems imitation. In a wierd way reminds me of Rougue Hazelnut Nectar and that almost extract flavor, though this is much better. Body is a little thin for my taste in a stout.
