| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 13, 2007 Bottled (BB 05/2008)
Very dark ruby color, tiny expresso head. Dark fruits, coffee beans and molasses in the nose. Fizzy carbonation. Coca cola -sweetness: cane sugar, milk chocolate and molasses. Quite light for this ABV as a stout. Not really alcoholic. Like a sweetened version of Guinness FES. I didn’t like much this one, usually these tropical stouts are tastier. boboski (1095), Alabama, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 11, 2007 Black body with a very thick and modestly retained tan head. the aroma is at first a very earthy variety of roastiness. Notes of coffee beans, milk chocolate, toasty grains and caramelized sugar cane. Touches of marshmallow creme. The aroma is unique enough to warrant repeated whiffs. Some sourness and lactic acid encroaches upon further warming. Mild alcohol for the strength paired awkwardly with hints of anise root round out the aroma. The flavor is Bitterness is nonexistent. Overly sweet, nearly completely enveloping the roast. Complexity is useless, noticeable or not, when it’s so outshined by ridiculous cloying malts and sugars. Higher alcohol avert such an abhorrent lack of dryness. Albeit, this is a sweet stout, but my goodness, enough is enough. This would be fantastic inside chocolate candies in small doses. The finish is sweet and has hints of raisins and sugar plums. Alcohol is lightly warming late. The mouthfeel is lightly to moderately carbonated and has little initial or residual stickiness, as was expected upon first sweet sip. This has enough sweetness in one bottle to accomodate an entire barrel. SoLan (1423), Orlando, Florida, USA

Taste is oxidized roast, with light notes of chocolate and foamy crystal malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lactose, and lush carbonation. Not good, would not drink again.
