Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small light-brown head. Aroma: Whoa, that’s nice! Lots of dark fruit with sweet caramel malt, a little roastness and some chocolate and coffee. Flavour’s not as impressive but still very good: coffee and chocolate, roasted malt, a little nutty and a light bitter finish. Medium bodied. Easy to drink and enjoyable, I liked it.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 18, 2007 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Thickly oily near black pour with a small creamy fairly dark brown small head. Rich thick nut-oil roast malt aroma - yeasty, sweet and nutty - someone was heard to say "black forest cake" - yes, hints of kirsch, ultimately dry. Taste - just average, really - slightly sour and thin, roast coffee/chocolate, thin hops, sour finish. Only average body, acidic and thin mouthfeel, weak finish. Smells awesome.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2006 A nice dry and roasty stout that satisfies me on this coolish winter night. This stout typifies a dry mid-bodied stout. The finish is long and full of coffee and milk chocolate. ogglethorp (890), Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 21, 2006 Bonus bottle via trade with stoutlover72. Pours an inky black color with a small dark brown head that pretty much settles out. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, burnt sugar. Flavor is just about the same, coffee, roasted malts, burnt sugar, bitter choclate. Palate is full bodied, oily, resinous, mildly carbonated. Very nice. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA

Aroma is mostly coffee with some chocolate tones and hints of roasted malts. Taste is a rich coffee with cocoa accents and some bittersweetness. There is another coffee/mocha kick right in the finish. Nice full bodied stout. bu11zeye (5672), Frisco, Texas, USA
