| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2006 Bottled, patch 1297 (BB 10/2006).
Very dark ruby color, good tan head. Aroma has chocolate, roasted malts and bready barley. Medium to full bodied. Ashy (tobacco), cold coffee and toasted malts in the flavor, also like flavor of burnt rye bread. Very "dark" stout with lots of roast and toast. At least interesting. johninmelb (692), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 21, 2006 Potent and rich nose. Pours quite dark with a tan head that dissipates quickly. Flavour is extremely full-bodied, and more bitter than full of chocolate and licorice as many porters are. Complex, well-formed, dry and rewarding, with just a hint of sweet malt finishing it off. Excellent. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2006 Bottle from Super Saver. Dark brown pour with 1-finger tan head. Aroma of big Wheaties, almonds, figs, choclate syrup. The flavor is dry stouty, with roasty malt plus some chocolate, smoked almonds, and figgy fruit. Decent complexity and balance. Nicely done.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 18, 2006 50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Very dark reddish brown colour with a nice head. Light aroma of roastedness and malt. Very dry and bitter flavour with notes of roastedness but heavily bitter finish. scotty (832), Scotland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 18, 2006 Intensely dark in colour, head is off white and is initially quite thick & impressive, but that too quickly dies to nowt but a thin covering.Rich roasted malt is the dominant feature of the powerful nose, lots of treacle/molasses.This carries through to the big full flavoured palate.Although very malty,there is a nice bitter edge which lingers nicely on the longish finish.Stout isn’t my favoured style,but I really enjoyed this. Asda, Harrogate.
