| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 2, 2008 22oz bottle from bottletrek.com A great stout!! Poured motor oil black with a good sized chocolaty head that diminished quickly. Lots of chocolate, burnt toffee, and plum on the nose. Great lacing was left on the glass by the way. The flavor was even more bold that the aromas alone, glad I got to try this one. jlf278 (255), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2008 On tap, poured with a bit of brown, not completely black body and head. Nice. Flavor was sweet and palate was warm. Lots of good flavors, dried fruit, brown sugar. Aroma was sweet and sugary too. Palate had great full body and overall, just a very pleasing, not overdone stout. killjoy966 (227), Washington, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 19/20 | Mar 30, 2008 I can’t say enough good things about this beer. Had it at the Elysian brewpub with dinner. Velvety smooth with incredible lacing as the head foam coated the inside of glass. One of the best beers I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. matt7215 (995), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 29, 2008 bomber from a trade with SuzyGreenberg (drink his homebrew its the shit). pours black with a small tan head. aromas are a bit shy but coffee and chocolate stand out also some hops present on the nose. flavours are smooth and complex with the barley driven coffee flavour as the most prodominant but there is also some chocolate and a tiny bitter hop bite. the chocolate sweetness adds a nice touch but the balance of the whole flavour profile is what makes this a truely great stout. a really wish i had more of this fantastic brew. thx Mr. Bottoms! miketd (685), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 21, 2008 Bottle from the man, the myth, the legend...lb4lb. Thanks dude. Pour is pitch black with a big brown head. Aroma is bitter and tobacco like. Some chocolate. Flavor is roasty with caramel and quite bitter. This brew has that weird tobacco character that is not a good thing. The beer isn’t bad, but not my fave. bb (2930), Martinez, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Black beer with a tan head. Light roast, light coffee, chocolate aroma. Sweet chocolate flavor with light roast and backing bitterness. Medium bodied. Nice balance. Lingering dark chocolate, malt, caramel, and light citrus bittering. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 13, 2008 Bottle… This beer rocks!… Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, beige head. Great retention. Notes of chocolate, espresso, vanilla, toasted nuts, light smoke and ash constitute the rich, mocha aroma. Full-bodied and velvety with moderate carbonation. The perfectly balanced flavor leans on the bitter side at first, but then caramalt and chocolate malt sweetness catches up. Finishes bittersweet and lightly acrid. Excellent, well-made, sturdy stout. Big-time kudos to mgumby10 for sharing this world class brew!
