| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 2, 2009 excellent beer. Aroma is awesome as well as the appearance. Chocolate dances everywhere, start to finish. This brew was a really nice surprise. It reminds me alot of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, except it doesn’t really have that thick creaminess to it. It mouthfeel is a little light. Makes for a great after dinner/dessert beer. tennessejed420 (88), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The flavor follows very closely. The appearance is dark brown/ruby color, partly transparent to light. The finish is sweet and bitter chocolate, light hop burn. Medium mouthfeel, a little thin for the style. Nicely crafted overall. SuIIy (1453), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Nice creamy chocolate aroma, some good roasty notes detectable. Pours an opaque brown, with just a thin layer of light tan head. Taste of milk chocolate, with a bit of sweetness noticeable. A bit thin in the mouthfeel, but overall a very drinkable stout.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Black pour with little to no head to speak of. Light roast and some milk chocolate notes as well. Flavor is bolder than the aroma. Solid tones of chocolate and roast and ends with bitter chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium, a little thin but not as bad as I was expecting. Really all in all a drinkable, relatively tastey stout. I hope harpoon continues in this good direction.
