| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 30, 2007 Bottle; a dark color with a small, light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruit, and milk sweetness. Palate was too thin and watery. Taste was rather bland; tasted almost watered down. Coffee only barely comes through. Some chalkiness, dark fruit and chocolate as well. Not actively bad...nor good. LinusStick (1848), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 29, 2007 A sub par sweet stout. Aroma was weak but could pick up hints of roasted malt. Pour was bad. Flat dark brown/black with no head. Taste was weak. Lightly carbonated mix of seltzer water and coffee with a bit of chocolate. Not good. illinismitty (1799), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 27, 2007 Bottle from Total Wine in Naples, FL. Pours a deep brown with a dissipating beige head. Aroma of nut shells, light roast coffee, and cocoa powder. Medium bodied but similar in texture to a brown ale. Initial flavor of dark roast and coffee grounds, with a tame bitterness to balance things out. Not much sweetness, which this needs to round things out. Finish has a slight astringency and peppery bite. Too much coffee and and not enough body or sweetness for me. IrishBoy (2719), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 21, 2007 12 oz bottle from Lakefront Sampler from Bottle Barn; Nose of coffee and bittersweet chocolate, not overpowering but appealing; Very dark hazy brown with a big cinnamon colored head; flavor is definately coffee, with chocolate and very light hop bitterness and a bit of sweetness. Body a little thin, but its not an impy! Better than the ratings say! ShawnMalloy (120), Auburn, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 13, 2007 This is kind of a watery stout. Tastes like something you’d get from Starbucks. The maltiness is very candy like. Not much of an aroma. Not very enticing to the eyes. Is a great novelty coffee beer. hershiser2 (914), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 11, 2007 Bottle purchased at Wine Warehouse, C-ville. Pours nearly black with no head. Licorice in the nose... that’s about all. Bubbly mouth, with flavors of hops, with some coffee, but not good coffee. Eh, not impressed =( incutrav (576), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 7, 2007 Im a sucker for a tasty coffee stout. This one is a little light on the coffee and roastiness though. Seemed a bit thin, and maybe even watery. Good coffee aroma and some coffee taste, but really lacks the roast malt kick and strong coffee kick associated with some other stouts. Not bad by any means, a very smooth drinker for a coffee stout.
