| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 25, 2009 16-oz widget can. Pours a very unappetizing-looking mud puddle brown that steadily turns into an attractive-enough black with a thick, creamy, persistent pale tan mousse. I know the marketing guys worked really hard to make it look like this, but it looks like a crime against the nature of beer. Smells like chalk and cheap fake chocolate. Watery, thinnish, flat body. Chalky, slightly ashy mid-palate with some mild fake chocolate showing. Not a real pleasant beer. Fratto (737), Arlington, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 18, 2009 On tap at the Gingerman in Dallas. Very thick. It’s tasty and smooth. Great beer. arrogantb (707), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2009 On tap for $3. looks great, black, substantial foamy head. The smell is quite average, a bit of malt, boring. The taste reminds me of syrupy molasses and is just as unimpressive. I think I like Guinness better but this was still quite easy to drink..
Serving type: on-tap

Midnight black in colour with a thick even layer of creamy dense tan foam. Aromas of roasted malt and burnt chocolate come through with a bitter burnt flavour that is quite smooth. azlondon (666), Fribourg, Switzerland
