| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Generous chocolate on the nose, deep black colour and a nice firm frothy head. Flavour is heavy on the roasted aspects and some wheat and barley mixed in with coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Add a little bit of cacao and espresso and you have a fine stout in your hands...now drink it, you scrub!

Need to try this one! danielcurtis81 (890), San Diego, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 23, 2008 22 fl oz bottle. Pours pitch dark with a lovely creamy and chocolate brown head slowly diminishing in this lovely melting way into the beer beneath. Chocolate, roasted malt, mild vanilla and light hops fruity aroma. Flavour has all of this in a nice creamy blend with a fruity flavour that lends itself towards a blackberry note. Medium sweet and fruity hops finish swept in a nice creamy chocolate malty and slight tarish roasted malt finish. Lovely and highly drinkable! RunDWP (203), San Jose, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 17, 2008 On tap. Flavors and aroma of bitter chocolate and an interesting smokey characteristic. Pretty malty. No sweetness to speak of of. Pours a jet black. Good, not great stout. Brewsmith (136), Torrance, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2008 From a 22 0z. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is full of dark chocolate and coffee. Earthy hop aroma. Opaque black with a thick light brown head. Citrusy hop flavors followed by bready malt and then chocolate and roast. Not overly bitter. Balanced nicely with the hops and malt. Dry, no residual sweetness, but thick and chewy. Very nice. ucusty (1887), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
