| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 27, 2009 I usually notice over sweetness right away. This beer tasted wonderful as a sample, but seemed to become progressively sweeter, and after nearing the end of a full pint I wished I had ordered something else. Smooth and good flavored, just too sweet. neepsntatties (350), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 25, 2009 Had this on tap at the Ice Axe Grill at Government Camp, OR. Colour... black with a thin off-white head. Nose... roasted malt, molasses, Nescafe, and light hops. Palate... malty, creamy, gently hops and light unsulphured molasses. I regularly enjoy this on cask at the Horse Brass in Portland, OR but it was nice to try at "the source". stchloe (491), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Thick beer, large body, super dark and pours a decent head. Definetly sweeter than most, but almost to a fault. Halfway between strong chocolate, molasses, and oatmeal notes, and not at all hoppy. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 11, 2009 On tap at the brewery on nitro. Black pour with a very smooth khaki head. Very smooth palate due to the nitro tap, soft roastiness comes through, but a bit more muted on nitro. Soft chocolate notes up front, coffee builds in the dry finish. One of the best beers on the sampler plate. Hopefully I can try this again on CO2. anders37 (4774), Malmö, Sweden
