| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 19, 2009 Super dark brown, bubbly light brown head. Opaque w/red at the edges, crown of brown lacing. Coffee and alcohol in the nose; oily stout malt. Good mildly toasted mocha coffee aroma. Cocoa powder, caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Tastes of raisins, plums, dates in the front; mocha, coffee in the back. Sweet overshadows the bitter; could use more balance. Oily at first, then dry/ashy. Taste doesn’t live up to aroma, but decent nonetheles. Elwood (677), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 17, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours pitch black with a small, foamy, light tan head. The head disappears almost immediately. Wood, coffee, a little old sock, roasted notes, and a touch of date in the the nose. Very interesting. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Bitter coffee, a sour note, raisin, and roasted notes on the palate. Somehow this one never quite comes together the right way on the tongue. Medium finish. A pretty poor nose and a palate that is mediocre at best. Not one I would recommend or have again. shawnm213 (938), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Decent bitter black cup-of-coffee beginning that somehow turns into a glass of Icehouse. The flavor just dissipates into an ice cold Zephyrhills drink. Disappointing. $4 bottle at Zeke’s, Miami Beach. stchloe (492), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Very good. Not the strongest coffee flavor, but blends well with dark malts and just a bit of bite. Very dark, very creamy. DiabolikDUB (143), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Pint glass.
Pours a deep dark brown that borders on black with a fizzy khaki colored head that quickly dissolves and leaves no remains. The nose has some chocolate, roasted malts and just a hint of coffee. The flavor is sweet chocolate upfront and is accompanied by some smoke and earthy hops and finishes dry. Its a medium bodied beer that has a hearty amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is completely lacking and the flavor is pretty faint as well and the body makes it seem more like a porter than a stout. drfabulous (1243), Columbia, Missouri, USA
