| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 30, 2006 Draught sample at the brewpub, on nitro. Pretty, thick jet pour with a lasting creamy dark head and fine lacing....cocoa powder, roasted and lightly singed barley and dried licorice in the appealing if subdued nose....lots of licorice in a fairly dry, vinous and rather too sour body, dark malts help save it and a pretty full and strong body for a nitrogenated pour....some dry woody hops creep in at the finish.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 4, 2004 Deep brown with amber highlights that produces a nice creamy tan head and very good lace. The aroma hints of vanilla and mocha, caramel, coffee, floral hops, citric, and dusty yeast esters. The taste starts with a grapefruit and hop bitterness with mild undertones of caramel malts. A touch sour and nutty. Espresso like qualities on the finish. the mouthfeel is creamy with an astringent finish. A good DRY stout, don't expect alot of sweetness here.

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Apr 24, 2007 Draft pint at the brewpub; dark, dark brown with a big quality head that disapated slowly. this is a bit sweet, and unfortunately a bit watery. There’s nothing to it and it was a major letdown after the two outstanding porters. (#2809, 4/21/2007) GeneralGao (3078), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 29, 2006 Draufht at the brewpub. Opaque black color with creamy tan head that laced the glass. Roasty, coffee nose. Carbonated, but not overly. Very smooth and slightly sweet. Tastes of coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Finish is slightly bitter and lingers.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2004 Pitch black, long lasting head. A little watery and flat. Just roast and cream and that's about it. Disappointing. NachlamSie (1657), Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 30, 2007 draught. Pours deep dark red with a cascade and a very even, level tan head. The brew, though not potently aromatic, has indetifiable chocoalte and oat scents. The mouthfeel is very creamy and coating. Walls of lacing are left on the glass as I drink. Plenty of dense chocolate, coffee, and oats are beheld with a slightly dry finish. I really enjoyed this one, perhaps it was my favorite.
