| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 15, 2002 Wonderfully balanced, even with such a complex set of flavors. Fresh and aromatic. Roasty, toasty, rich, thick and robust. Not too heavy though. Great sweet vs. bitterness thing going on... and a little sourness too. Some chocolate and coffee hints really gave it the icing on the cake. WAY better than their Oatmeal Stout, which they also had at this time. OldJack99 (114), USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 21, 2007 Pours a deep black with about a quarter inch of tan foam. Okay head retention and lacing. Roasted grain is prominent in the aroma, accompanied by a bit of bitter coffee.
This is a nice dry stout, with roasted grains that are not overdone and likewise not lacking. A little bit of coffee and chocolate flavors are in there too. Well rounded. The beer is smooth and nicely carbonated. The body is very good for the style, not too full, and not thin or watery like some brewpub stouts I have tried.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 20, 2007 On draft at the brewery. Not too much to really note here other than it was a very average, slightly watery stout with little character. It did look good on the draw, however. badgerben (3600), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 18, 2006 Black color with a thin and creamy head. Weak aroma of coffee. The taste is on the light side, but has a bit of bitter chocolate. Not as full as I’d like, but a passable beer.
