| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Scored from DTM’s trip. I wasn’t sure what to think about this one. It may be brewed with special coffee, but tasted more like old, fermented coffee. Really odd. otismulligan (34), Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA

Again this beer isnt to complex flavor might be better for a coffee drinker but not ad overall but at 4.4% ABV on a stout??? come on now! decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 25, 2008 A black pour with foamy tight tan head and lace. Aroma of light coffee was all I got. The flavor is more coffee and roasted malt. A very mild bitter make this a pretty decent beer. Mouthfeel was solid and carbonation was good. This was a pretty nice beer.

Aroma of coffee, malt, some hop and chocolate. Creamy vanilla flavor with a good amount of coffee.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich dark black with very little of the deep tan head showing up. Slight alcohol smells are hidden behind a rich roasted smell with coffee and malt notes. Body is thin to medium. Flavors are subdued, as is the finish which is faintly smoky. I am not getting a whole lot of stout, more coffee mostly. stangger (155), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 16, 2008 12ozer. Dark brown, aroma of roasted malts, coffee. Taste is mostly malty, fairly creamy, very sweet. Coffee mostly apparent in the aftertaste. Very sweet even for the style. fidelis83 (729), Clinton, Iowa, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Pours very dark burnt orange tinted brown with a thin manila head that fades almost instantly, for some reason several of the beers from this Lakefront 8 bottle mix pack behaved that way when poured. Aroma is big on roast malt and cold coffee, with a decent amount of cocoa, and an almost tannic bite. Flavor is coffee, cocoa, caramel, a decent nutty sweetness, and some sorghum sweetness. Body is thin and really astringent for the style. Dunno maybe its the coffee or something but it seems like it needs a little extra heft to the mouthfeel.
