| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours black and opaque wit a tall, handsome head with good retention. Light aroma of roasted malt. Medium body with notes of dry, lightly burned and somewhat ashy malt, with an underlying fruity edge. Lightly burned, bitter finish. A very decent dry stout. 270306 wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 14, 2006 Pours black with a thin tan head. Not much head retention. Weak aroma with hints of chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Taste was the same with a bit of raisin underneath. The alcohol content seems off to me. I would have guessed that is was a lot higher. Not offensive in anyway, but in terms of Stouts I have had better. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 14, 2006 Pours blacker than any nonimperial I’ve ever poured with a nice light brown head. The aroma is not huge, though it is pleasing: Raisinette’s and yeast with charcoal. The palate is smooth and a bit creamy, with some chalkiness that was slightly offputting. The flavor is rich and robustly roasted and yet rather sweet, and not just for a dry stout. I’m picking up stone fruits and chocolate with obvious coffee overtones. The lingering coffee turns into a pleasing charcoal after a while. I really enjoyed this. tcruicks (282), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2006 Great looking beer- just extremely dark with a brown head. Aroma is malty with raisins, caramel. Flavour is very strong- roasty and surprisingly sweet like raisins again, caramel. A bitter roasty finish. I like it! ncyankee (23), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 3, 2006 Thin and watery for a stout - more like a porter. Nothing distincitve in a positive or negative sense. jimmyh221 (157), Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 30, 2006 It was dark brown in color with a nice brown head. It had a chocholate taste that was very smooth in texture and a nice finish. FROTHINGSLOSH (2038), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 28, 2006 Updated: Jun 29, 2006Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a small dark brown head. The aroma is roasty malts and floral hops. The mouthfeel is far too thin for a stout. The flavor is strong roasty and toasty malts with a bitter floral hop undertone. The beer is a bit sweeter than I would have expected but still way too thin. KSS (102), Plymouth, Minnesota, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Mar 28, 2006 The first few whiffs from this 12 oz bottle had me worried. A sour aroma and taste covered up what might have been a nice roasted malt and hops flavor. Was this a bad bottle, or a confirmation of some of the other recent poor ratings?
