ldmp365 (6), USA does not count | 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Very dark with thin, off-white/tan head. Smells like roasted something, strong sense of malt, smell/taste suggests coffee, but not overly so. Light body compared with most stouts that I have had. Sweet without being too sweet. lightning9191 (82), Christiansburg, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 14, 2008 This beer pours with a thick off-white head that slowly disappears as you drink it. The aroma is of roasted grains with hints of chocolate. The first thing I notice upon tasting is what seems to be high carbonation.....not really to my liking especially in a stout. The flavor is good...tastes like roasted grains and coffee, but is not very bitter with the added lactose giving sweetness to the end of the flavor. This has a heavy body and seems very filling. I’d drink another one or two...... SirSlarty (68), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Smells a little sour. Thin head but not too bad for a stout. Very rich in color. Has a slight cappuccino taste to it., more milky than the usual coffee taste must be the lactose! Very smooth but slightly fizzy. Yes, definitely a malty milkshake(but thin, wish it was thicker) with espresso thrown in. Very good. Pastor (534), Maine, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 4, 2008 Thanks to DIM for this one
Bottle poured pitch black body topped of with tan head. Good head retention lasted the whole time I drank the beer
Aromas of sweet chocolate malt fill your head
Tastes about the same as the nose but with a slight coffee bitter finish
The mouthfeel is just how I like my stouts smooth and creamy almost thick
Really drinkable truly a fine brew for its style . I’ll agree that it was like a malted milk shake. a must try in my book

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Deep black with a tan head. Sweet roasted flavor that’s a great example of old sweet style stout. WillieV (191), Maryland, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Bottle: poured a very rich looking almost black color with a very quickly dissipating light brown head. Aroma is of a very dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel and coffee. Flavor is a great match for aroma. Lots of chocolate goes down smooth and leaves you wanting more. sew13 (9), Cranston, Rhode Island, USA does not count | 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2008 aroma is bombarded with toffee notes, color is black with no regrets, slight redish on the sides, flavor, bit on the roasty side with a creamy undertone. Palate wise the roasty flavor goes a long long way though everything else dies away quite fast. Overall, not bad... not bad at all... bartender may I have another?

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Updated: Apr 6, 2008Beautiful. This was a marvelous stout. It has a subtle, but sweet aroma with hints of a roasty coffee. It’s appearance is chocolate in color, brown for sure. It’s flavor is decadent with a creamy, malty, coffee like majesty, not to mention some chocalate in there too. It’s also suprisingly smooth! Overall, this is a rare gem. I’d gladly have another, and another, and another
