| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 9, 2009 Growler fill from brewery. Pours an opaque dark brown, basically black with a thin head of delicious-looking chocolate colored head. Sweet yet mellow aroma of roasted malts with hints of chocolate. Roasty and somewhat sweet taste of good bittersweet chocolate, light roasted coffee, and licorice. The alcohol presence is there, but is neither overpowering nor unpleasant. Mouthfeel is a bit "lighter" than some other notable beers in this style. msante79 (822), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA

Aroma is heavy with roasted malt, chocolate and some coffee. Flavor is again heavy with roasted malt. Nice balance of chocolate, coffee, licorice and some dark fruits. Bit of booze in the finish. Nice mouthfeel and is a little dry due to all the roasted malt. Nice solid stout. Have another bottle in the cellar that I will let age a little. KimJohansen (6925), Copenhagen V, Denmark

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 29, 2009 dark black color with thin layer of reddish tan head. Aroma is high octane port. Palate is rich and chewy with a roasted molasses and fruity flavor. Very complex finish with a just right amount of hoppy bitterness to balance out the rich chewy taste and high alcohol content.
