| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 26, 2005 Bottle from Whole Foods, San Diego. Very dark brown colour with a large milk chocolate head. Aroma is roasty with a bit of chocolate. Thinnish body, but suitable for a dry stout. Mellow flavour with some burnt malt and nice bitter chocolate notes coming through as it warms. A bit of dark cherry in there as well. I tend to prefer bigger bodied stouts, but this was quite nice. thegreenrooster (1846), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 23, 2005 Pour is a deep black with a small white head. Aroma is dark chocolate but you have to use your imagination to find it. Flavor is a bit of coffee and chocolate but just like the aroma all of this is pretty weak. If you could make a bland stout this would be it. SuIIy (1492), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 1, 2005 Bottle. Poured out a rich brown color with a small tan head, not quite as thick as most stouts. Dark chocolate, roasted malt and a bit of yeasty bread on the nose. The taste was mostly roasted malt with some chocolate, coffee, dry hops and even a little vanilla flavor. Pretty thin on the palate for a stout, but it was smooth. Not bad, not great, I actually would have thought it was a porter if it had a bit more sweetness. BillyM (149), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
