| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 28, 2007 Bottle. This stout poured so amazingly black that no light comes through at all much like a cola. A dark brown medium head tops off this beer. The aroma was heavy on the bitter chocolate and reminded me of grape juice. Strangely this sweet grape juice smell carries over in the flavor much like welches grape juice but also with hints of chocolate. A long bitter hop aftertaste. Not too bad... but that grape flavor was a bit strange for sure.

Great body, Awesome initial flavor..with a perfect finish and just enough carbonation.
Seriously one of the best stouts I’ve had in a long time. DrHomolka (731), Columbus, Ohio, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2007 4/16/2007: fleeting dark beige foamy head
Ebony with ruby tones.
Aroma: Roasted malts and chocolate notes.
Flavor: Dry and roasty. Coffee, dark chocolate; semi-sweet chocolate finish.
Hint of cola or anise in the middle. Warmer temps: root beer in finish?
Medium body. a bit too much carbonation for my taste (for the style).
22 oz bottle via trade with kenb (Oct/Nov 2006). Thanks Ken! hapjydeuce (773), Del Mar, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 14, 2007 22oz. bomber I picked up at BevMo. Nice roasted wood and chocoloate aroma and a marble black appearance with a small light brown head. Slight coffee taste, that ends pretty sugary. I was very satisfied with the palate, silky and smooth ending, minimal dryness which I like in a stout.
