| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Sweet dark malt aroma with hints of chocolat and fruit. Dark amber color with a small tan head. Mild start with a sweetish finish. Light carbonation makes this one a little watery. BEERGUY007 (206), Scotia, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Nice beer nice head. I liked the taste, tastes of malt, coffee (which is nice since I like coffes so much) The whole line of Mendocino is ok but not my favorite. I also wouldn’t turn one down though nearbeer (1858), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 13, 2007 355 ml. Opaque with a large, creamy and lasting head. Aroma is iron, charred wood, some slight earthy molasses. Taste is nice blend of earth, wood, smoke, apples, coffee, chocolate, molasses, marshmallow. There is an all-encompassing fruity, sour-metallic hop flavor that counters the other flavors well. Smooth and medium-bodied, with not much tingle from hops or carbonation - nice.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 12, 2007 12 oz. bottle
Aroma:Chocolate and roasted malts prevalant with coffee underneath
Appearance:Classic dark brown with a disappointing head that dissipated quickly
Flavor:Here is where I was pleasantly surprised by the deep roasted malts with some sweet chocolate and bitter coffee very nicely balanced with the alcohol presence
Palate:Some bitter dryness here but the roasted flavors lingered well
Overall:Not phenomenal but certainly worth a peek. I liked it and would drink it again. chadcs (76), Westminster, South Carolina, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2007 (bottle, thanks Olso2116) Pours dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma is coffee with some dark chocolate, and a slight hop smell too. Flavor initially begins with a crisp tart taste, but then rounds out to a nice roasted finish. Quite good.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2007 [Bottle] Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is malty, a little sweet, a little roasted. Nice roasted malt taste that lingers for quite some time. Slight bitterness in the finish. Bottle was only $0.99 on sale at a local store so I thought I would give it a shot and didn’t have any expectations for it. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised--didn’t blow me away but I definitely think it is underrated here. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA
