| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Tap @ Brewpub: Dark brown, near black pour with a finger of creamy tan head. Nice, thick bits of sticky lacing. Roasty, chocolate, and espresso notes in the aroma. Huge taste presence with a very chewy mouthful. Rich and lingering finish with more espresso and bittersweet chocolate. Wow, this was very nice! Tmoney99 (4749), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 9, 2006 Draft at brewpub. Black color with an average creamy head that mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate chocolate coffee aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Medium balanced sweet coffee flavor with a medium dark sweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer. DJMonarch (6845), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Black and slightly rich on the palate with a fruit aroma. Some bitterness in a roast finish. Rastacouere (5553), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 6, 2005 Creamy and lasting tan head tops the almost black body. Sweet chocolate and coffee nose has this fun toasted character that sets it apart a bit. Gains big points for its grapey and date-like fruit suggestions as well as mild smoky feel. Medium bodied, creamy texture, foamy carbonation. Floury, toasty and of restrained acidity and bitterness. Well weighted stout. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 23, 2005 On tap @ pub: pretty light bodied for a stout; substantial roastiness and chocolate maltiness; lightly hopped with the balance mostly coming from the roasted malt; a note of dirty hops; another solid but boring one from MBC.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 14, 2005 [At GABF 2004] A pitch black beer with a chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of chocolate as well as lesser notes of roasted malt. The flavor is lovely sweet and again with chocolate being most dominant. Hey - I want more of this.
