Pours a very deep ruby-brown with an average size creamy tan head. Aroma’s roasty and milky along with light green hops and some coffee. Flavour’s roasty and lactic along with some light hops and I’m getting a bit of ’metal’ or ’bottle’. Light bitter finish. Average bodied. It’s fine, I’d drink it again but I don’t think i would buy it -- an average Stout. BeerFanDan17 (621), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA

Poured dark black but not thick with a nice frothy/creamy head. Mix of cream or milk, and dark caramel, coffee, and chocolate. DannyP (29), Connecticut, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Pours dark black/brown with a small brown head, as I believe a good stout should.
What this beer lacks in aroma, it makes up for everywhere else.
Perfectly balanced roasted barley and sweet, sweet malt. Little hop intervention, which surprisingly doesn’t bother me at all in this particular brew.
I love it I love it I love it. Too bad it was gift from my folk’s trip to colorado. bconger (77), Birmingham, Alabama, USA

Big ole aromas of toffee, dark chocolate, and toast. Those flavors too, plus wood smoke and coffee with cream. Wish I’d bought more than one!

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Mostly coffee and milk chocolate overall. Fluffy light brown head on an extremely dark beer. Smooth hint of bitter coffee with a slight milk or cream aspect. A bit of sugary sweetness more than the cream comes through.
