| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Near black pour with a thick brown head. Some nice bubbles of carbonation from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is heavy chocolate and milk/lactose. Nice mouthfeel but a bit bubbly. Flavor isn’t quite as chocolately as the aroma would imply, but there is a nice roasty backbone to this one. Quick finish, lingering bitter chocolate. Pretty good brew.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Draught at Beer in the Park. Black color with a modest tan head. Dry roasted malt and dark chocolate in the aroma. The flavor is mostly dry and roasty with a light caramel sweetness to make it interesting. There is enough body to feel good in the mouth with the roast, but it’s still not very heavy or sticky. I guess dry stouts can be pretty good when not served on nitro.
