| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2007 Draught during my NC brew tour. Pours deep, dark red with a fine, even tan head. The aroma is pretty faint on this one too. It’s slightly oaty and yeasty. Mouthfeel is light for the style. I was relieved to discover that the flavor is much fuller. It has thick mocha and coffee bean notes with a slight breadiness. Nice roasted finish. I was pleasantly surprised at the balance and fullness. This would make a very suitable session stout.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2005 16 oz draft at the brewpub in Myrtle Beach, SC. Poured black with a creamy tan head that lingered and laced pretty well. Chocolate and coffee on the aroma. Flavor is much the same Chocolate, coffee, a bit of brown sugar and somewhat dry on the finish. Palate was about what I expect from a stout.. Full bodied.. Definitely the best of the 3 brews that I got to sample with dinner. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2005 Very black pour with medium, tan head. Big chocoff aroma, with a taste of chocoff, some molasses, and a very crisp finish. A tad thin at the finish, but very complex. UNCCTF (465), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2004 Sampled at Charlotte Oktoberfest ’04. Pitch black, dark tan head. The flavor was sweet and very chocolatey. It reminded me a lot of Cottonwood Almond Stout - it just needs a little work in making the body more heavy - it’s too thin for a stout.
