| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 This is a pretty decent beer for cheap. It smells like coffee. Tastes like a simple lightly sweet stout with coffee. The flavor is one dimensional but nice. thegreenrooster (1842), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a slight roast with some coffee. Flavor is again a nice roast with a slight coffee. Finish is kind of watery and there is not much body to this one. Its just ok but nothing to revisit. pantani (1902), Salinas, California, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 22, 2009 12 oz bottle from the brewery and my trip there in February (Milwaukee, WI). Pours a very dark pour, near black, opaque, with small brownish head that dissipates to a film. Can’t get too excited about that. Aromas are a nice sweetness, chocolate and cream with caramel pushes some light bitterness from the coffee and roast. Initial has a decent body, a little light, with sweet chocolate and caramel, pushing some lighter roast and coffee further into the body and back towards the finish. Light, with dark chocolate coming more in the finish with some roast. Light roast and dry bitterness on the finish with a dollop of chocolately sweetness. Light in body for what I like in the style, but some decent flavors it seems, as the coffee is moderate in finish and aftertaste.. Underwhelming on the whole, though. Probably not a beer I’ll revisit. BroSpud (608), , Massachusetts, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 12, 2009 12oz bottle from a mix pack. I’m finding that I’m not a big fan of this brewery. While I did like this better than most of their other offerings I have tasted so far it really did not do alot for me. It tasted thin and the flavors that did come out were not pronounced enough to give it any real character. There are so many better choices for this style out there that there is no point in wasting time with this one. Brewbie (227), New York, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Rich roasted coffee, choc malt, licorice and lactose. Some light molasses and brew coffee. Nice bitter almost ashy coffee mineral flavor. A bit watered down and definitely lacking a full bodied alcohol feel to it but still decent for the abv content. zach8270 (2127), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 28, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Dark brown color with a thick and creamy tan head. Aroma is rich and malty with lots of coffee, roasted malts, and some cream. Flavor is sweet from the malts and cream and has a nice bitter counterpoint from the coffee. A nice acidity comes from the coffee. Smooth and roasty and very nice.
