Brownish black color, good head and lace. Bitter flavor, roast malt, baking chocolate. Medium body, creamy oily mouth feel, bitter finish. Nice easy to drink stout. As nice looking as a beer as I’ve seen. Aroma was a tad weak, flavor was better, very rich. SoLan (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA

Aroma of roasted chocolate and coffee ice cream, some dry grains, also. Same flavor, rich and tasty, not very complex, but very good. Medium/full body, smoother than balanced. adrian910ss (1424), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2009 Pitch black, very tall fine head. Light aroma, burnt well, coffee, roasted malt, something smoked in there too. Like beef jerky. Quite smokey, slightly roasted flavor. Sweet, a bit of roasted bitterness, and dry roasted malt, smoke, and a bit of hops in the finish. This is really good, unlike any other stout I have tried. Very nice, strong, sweet, smoky stout. A little too sweet, is my only complaint. mrkimchee (1414), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Opaque black with a nice tan blanket that clings to the sides of the glass as it receded to a thin, bubbly cover. Roasty toasty dark malts with some floral accents coming through somehow. Nicely rounded flavour with significant sweetness and not as much bitter, roasted barley as expected from the aroma. The only fault that I can find in this beer is a slight alcoholic flavour that comes in at the end. Smooth with a full body and medium carbonation. Leaves a pleasant roasty taste on the palate.
