| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 11, 2008 Mmm... stout. I’ve been drinking a lot of stouts lately and this one is absolutely exceptional for the price. A six-pack of this costs less that two cans of Ten FIDY.
Nose has hints of caramel, a good amount of coffee, and a delicious chocolate milk character.
Flavor is roasty with espresso overtones and mild hop bitterness. Get some! FrancoisMtl (61), Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Very dark pour sits opaque in the glass. Ruby tinged cocoa head retains well and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is milk chocolate and overroasted coffee. Taste has a nice dark roasty bitterness with some hints of chocolate. Hints of anise and pine hops add some interest. A good American stout. Suttree (2743), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Trade form fordest - Thanks! Black, with a thin ring of brown foam. Vanilla, milk chocolate and coffee aroma flavor has a lot of fruity notes in it, which is kinda surprising. So in addition to the expected stout flavors, there is a nice mix of blackberry and prune and raisin. dry, flinty finish. General66 (171), Streator, Illinois, USA

Pours a completely opaque jet black color with a tiny brown head. The aroma was very nutty with hints of chocolate and coffee. Tasted like dark chocolate with hints of vanilla. It left a somewhat bitter taste in the back of my mouth. It had a fairly heavy mouthfeel. This was a very enjoyable extra stout! I am glad I was able to try it! robforbes (1105), Bremerton, Washington, USA
