May 10, 2007 Thanks to BigErn for the bottle. Sweet malt and some roasted scents make up the aroma. Black body with no head. Thin palate is very lacking. Super thin coffee flavor up front with some light bitterness behind it. This is just not good at all. Very dissapointing--but it seems that the ratings are very hit or miss--so I’ll probably try it again sometime.

Mar 14, 2007 Pours a black coler with a brown head. Aroma is of dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, and molasses. Flavor is the same with some roasted malts and a little smokiness and a slight bitter finish. A pretty decent brew.

Jan 18, 2007 This beer is the shit!
It pours a deep dark black with a rootbeer colored head. This beer smells like chocolate and brandy. this beer feels like a 10 percenter. It taste amazing. It’s deep, cocoa-ish, slightly roasted, but very fruity. Huge dark plums, spice dates. The finish though is surprisingly smooth for it being this damn big.
BUY THIS BEER.

Nov 17, 2006 Now this is one good friggin beer. Aroma is chocolately, coffee, roasty, licorice, dark brown sugar and malty. Appearance was jet black and it just glugged out of the bottle (is glugged a word?). Mouthfeel was creamy and smooth, just like a English stout should be and (suprise!) no nitro widget to get it to that point. Just pure goodness. Flavors carried the same notes as the aroma and it was an extremely tasty experience. Probably one of the best stouts I’ve had. Top notch.

Oct 31, 2006 16.9-oz. Pours jet black with very little tannish/orange head; this quickly turns into no head and no lace. Smells of anise and licorice; very cough-syrup-like. Flat. Light body. TChrome nails the lactic, sour, chalky, charcoal palate. Unpleasantly bitter finish. Not sure the age on this one but skeptical of the beer’s condition overall on this side of the pond. Have to try to re-rate eventually.

Sep 22, 2006 Bottled 18Mar03: Beer came out of the bottle with a very anemic pop. Beer pours black with a non-existant head that eventually rings the glass with a tan color. Aroma is very lactic and lightly sour, also significant roastiness. Flavor is quite lactic and sour with a chalky, charcoal flavor. I fear this one has not held up too well, but it is the only one I have to rate at present. I will try to seek a fresher example in the future and re-rate. Too bad.

Sep 6, 2006 Bottled. Pitch black coloured. Brownish small dense head. Smoke, light coffee, light fruits and roast in the nose. Flavour is smoked and roasted. Light herbal and meaty. Coffee notes present as well as cocoa and light chocolate. Medium bodied. Is light bitter and roasted in the end. Quite good beer. I’m not overly fond of this, but quite good anyway. Thanks Bierkönig for sharing this.

Aug 31, 2006 Bottle from the legendary Ledger’s Liquors. Deep chocolately aroma, hints of coffee, reminiscent of a liqueur. Deep opaque dark brown color with a hint of red. A few bubbles hardly worth the name of head. Starts with relatively subtle roasted malt, some chocolate and coffee appears, in the end the effect is of unsweetened chocolate (say 80% cocoa or so). There’s some smokiness, but from the hops? Medium mouthfeel. A rough silky pervasiveness that takes over the entire mouth. One of the better stouts I can recall. Maybe better than that.
