| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 22, 2005 This is a very dark beer with hints of light only around the very most edge when held up to the light. Very subdued brown foam for a head. There is a very pleasant nose with hints of dusty grains still in the bag, chocolate and vanilla flavored coffee. Initial sip is much more aggessive than the nose would indicate. There is an almost orange juice sweetness followed quickly by lots of roast coffee and bitter chocolate. The finish in this reminds me of crunching on chocolate covered coffee beans. Very smooth mouthfeel. JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 18, 2005 Dark brown body with slight red tint. Tan creamy head that leaves a dusty covering after a few minutes. Aroma has basic sweet stout character: roasted chocolatey malts with some coffee bitterness in the background. Flavor is pleasant, fairly rich, and nicely balanced. It has some chocolatey roasted malts with coffee bitterness, and sweet raspberry hints.

High levels of carbonation when it hits the palate. Taste is rich and malty, with milk chocolate and caramel accents. Slightly thin finish. One of the most chocolatey stouts I’ve had. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA
