| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 17, 2006 Bottle thanks to The_Enemy. Pours nice and dark, though at the edges it looks more like cola than a typical stout. Good slightly tan head. Very sweet on the nose, with hints of fruit, mollassas and, well, milk. In the mouth, the initial impression is of espresso, but just a hint. In fact, it took a bit to identify the flavor because it was so subtle, and for me at least that detracted from the experience. Overall, this isn’t a very full-flavored beer, tending to weak and watery. Medium bodied, with more carbonation than I like in my stouts. I’m glad I tasted it, but I probably wouldn’t seek it out again (nor would I turn it down if offered). NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA

Aroma is light cream, chocolate and molasses. Body is black with a frothy two finger thick tan head. Flavor is thinnish...light coffee, molasses, brown sugar notes some chocolate and a bit watery. Palate isn’t super thin, but the watery flavors make it appear thinnish. Finish is very smooth and creamy and leaves a mild bready sweetness int he aftertaste. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 15, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with Duane! - Thanks Duane! - Pours black with a nice short creamy offwhite head. Aroma is robust roasted coffee and light chocolate. Flavor is mostly coffee and roasted malts. Somewhat one dimensional and bitter but tasty and pleasant. Palate is thinner for a stout but still very drinkable.. A little more to the watery side but not excessively so. A pretty tasty stout.. JohnnyOS (646), Golden, Wisconsin, USA

Very good!
