| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 8, 2007 Bottle at the Düsseldorf Gathering. Deep, black body. Pours like sirupe. Caramel coloured, creamy head. Very intense aroma of pure chocolate, liquor and cofee. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. The flavour is not as complex as the aroma, but a very nice stout. I wish they’d serve this in my hotel in stead of coffee at breakfast. ilovedarkbeer (1369), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2009 Traded bottle. Good but did not live up to the hype for me. Definitely got the coffee, vanilla and bourbon notes in the aroma and flavour but there was a really strong burnt flavour at the finish. Just nothing really exciting to me. boFNjackson (1323), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Bottle... Poured black with a brown head. Aroma of mocha, roasted coffee, and malt. Bourbon flavors upfront with also some oatmeal, black coffee that stayed through to the finish. It was a like an Irish Car Bomb that you could sip instead of chug. Had a quick punch of alcohol in the finish that was quickly balanced by the malt and coffee flavors. zathrus13 (1317), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA
