| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 4, 2005 Aroma? I wish there was one. Of course, it seemed like even cigarette smoke didn’t smell in this place. The beer was dark brown that did allow color to pass through it. It had a thin beige head. Flavor was decent, hints of mocha. The palate was somewhat chauky. Not the thickest stout I’ve ever had. papajohn (1055), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2005 Bottle@casino: Brown almost black with a wisp of tan head. Light sweet aroma with a hint of coffee. Flavor starts lightly sweet with coffee and hints of fudge and smoke finishing lightly dry and bitter. Thin palate, but not bad. barenada (211), Georgetown, Indiana, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 12, 2005 Dark brown, small fizzy head. Nice , refreshing roasty aroma . Simmilar in character is the flavour . Simplistic but it works well . Malt preparation is the key. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 9, 2005 Thanks to Suttree for this one!
Very small head despite a pour right down the middle of a tall glass. Black body with a tan head.
Strong roast malt aroma, almost burnt & spicy. In the flavor is some bittersweet chocolate at the front, some sweet dried fruit in the middle and a roasty finish that drys out nicely. A bit thin, but quite drinkable. Oakes (8108), gone rambling, Cambodia

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 5, 2005 Aroma of coffee and licorice, black with a tiny toffee head. Flavour is very light coffee, a little thin for the style, not much bitterness either. Fair. Thanks IPFreely!
