| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 15, 2007 Bottle... This beer rocks!... Pours very dark with a small, creamy, light tan head. Decent retention. Chocolate and toasted nut aroma with undertones of rich vanilla and caramel alongside a light waft of smoke. The flavor is all about sweet milk chocolate with modest burnt, bitter notes. Full-bodied and silky with medium carbonation. Burnt, medium bitter finish. This world class stout was shared with the Tampa Crew by Quake1028! CaptainCougar (5527), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Pours an oily opaque with a spotty-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet, earthy dark caramel and chocolate malts with a touch of coffee. Starts fairly full and dark caramely sweet with some rich dark chocolate bittersweetness throughout toward a lightly sweet, lingering, drier finish. A nice sweet stout. ¾ (5003), Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2007 22oz bottle thanks to IrishBoy. Huge creamy medium dark tan head atop a black body, building tall but the beer itself isn’t overcarbonated. Nose is part whipped mocha cream, part roast, with ashy dried cracker notes. Smooth and creamy up front, flavors prettry straightforward roast, bitter chocolate, slight mocha and cream note, and maybe a bit too much of a lactic yeast quality. Overall it’s an absolutely solid stout, with a dry, rough finish. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 7, 2008 Thanks for sharing a bottle, iowaherekeye. The black body was topped with an orange brown head. The aroma was strong coffee and dark chocolate. There was also some chocolate chip pancakes. The taste was plums and light coffee. There was also some burnt pancakes. A nice stout, even though the bomber was a little underfilled.
