| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Looks like Coca-Cola when poured. Black body, caramel frothy head. Flat. The flavor just does not come out. The formula needs tweaking. dchmela (1440), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Pours out like a big black stout should. Nice coffee aroma. Taste was a lot thinner than I thought. just didn’t have enough balls for me. shrubber85 (2911), Wallhalben, Germany
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Strong coffee and wood aroma. Dark black color with moderate head. Creamy espresso and malt flavors with a slight bitter finish. Medium palate. A nice easy drinking sweet stout. Beerlando (2335), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 2, 2007 Rated 8/2/07. Black body with a tan rim around the edges of the surface. Virtually no lacing noted. Smells like a nice mocha milkshake, but the flavor just doesn’t live up to the promising aroma. The taste is basically just strong coffee over a faint, malty chocolate background. It does mellow out and improve a bit as it warms, but its still nothing special. Somewhat watery body for a stout, with a bittersweet coffee finish. Not bad, just incredibly simple and uninspired. Average at best. rocbyter (919), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 1, 2007 Chocolate and alcohol aroma. Very dark amber color with some brown foam. Sweet and tangy malt flavor. No coffee flavor that I can detect, but I did just have some espresso stout home brew. unclemattie (2416), Georgia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 30, 2007 12oz bottle from a 8pk sampler. Dark brown/black. no head. aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and alcohol. Flavor of green, unripened coffee beans. hop flavors in the finish. not overall impressed. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 30, 2007 Dark brown or perhaps a light black with a thin bit of a tan head. Disappearing quickly. Roasty light old cofee, a bit sweet, a little bit low key. Flat, a bit fizzy feeling, better than too much carbonation, but okay. A bit sweet with pruney acidic malt flavors. Diacetyl runs a bit high here. A bit creamy, roasty and fruity, kind of netraul, with a lingering pruny sharpness. mistersinalin (378), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 22, 2007 I like coffee and I like stout. I thought I would like this better, but it is a fair stout with the aftertase of coffee. I wonder if it has any caffiene?
