| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Can’t believe I have not rated this. Nose is very complex. Lots of roast, coffee, some light smoke, dark fruity sweetness, and some chocolate. Earthy hop bitterness as well. Pours black with a nice tan head. Nice looking black beer. Complex flavors of roast, dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, caramel, floral earthy hops, and a light subtle smokiness. Somewhat dry and earthy in the finish, but also some lingering sweetness as well. A wonderful beer. Nena (159), West Seattle, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Poured black with a medium tan head. Aroma is brown sugar sweet with chocolate and coffee. Very rich and sweet tasting, with complex flavors including dark dried fruit, syrupy chocolate, roasted coffee, toffee, and a touch of piney bittering hops on the finish. Overall it tends a lot more towards sweet than bitter. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. SamGamgee (1456), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2009 22oz bottle. Black with a small tan head. The aroma is a nice mix of dried cherry, apricot, and dark chocolate, with just a hint of coffee. The flavor is a nice dark chocolate with some tangy dried fruit, moderate sweetness, and hoppy, bitter finish. Medium-full body and lower carbonation, with an almost slippery texture. Nice stuff. goldfish19 (43), Long Island, New York, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 30, 2009 Updated: Oct 7, 2009~ Purchased this 22 oz bomber from Big Z Beverage in Huntington, NY. I must say, at first, I didn’t really know what to expect from this beer? Sure, I had a very good idea on how it was going to taste, but I snatched this at 50% off, and at $2.75 I’m sure you wouldn’t know what to expect either.
Pours dark brown with a nice lasting tan head. Aromas are of roasted malt, chocolate, and some oatmeal. As this stout warms up - so do all the flavors. The hops are under control, so this treat went down way to damn smooth. I felt this was just a little on the light side for a beer of this magnitude, but hey, I’m not complaining. It is so civilized. At a little more than 7% ABV, I can see myself drinking this all day long without any issues. An unexpected surprise! ~

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Taste and aroma dominated by chocolate, coffee, and bitter roasted malts. Creamy, full-bodied mouth feel, with a smooth finish. Hop presence is minimal. But this is a great beer, drinkable and enjoyable. abcfan (247), New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 26, 2009 Fantastic! Pours black with dark tan head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate dominate the nose. Roasted flavor with just a touch of chocolate sweetness, slides over the tongue with ease. Smooth creamy finish. I’ll have to have another sometime soon.
