I followed the directions and drank the beer at room temp. Light mouth feel but overall great taste. Low abc. Nice session stout BOLTZ7555 (1087), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Guess this one hit the mark with tons of roasted coffee present but not up to par with some of the best of the style. Mahogany pour with chestnut edges and a small latte head that left only a bit of lacing. Folger’s in the nose with hints of caramel and honey. Flavor is also fairly one dimensional. Thinner than I would have preferred. wavers1 (135), novato, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 19, 2009 bottle courtesy of biggcb. pours dark with an off white head, aroma is nice with a good bit of coffee, but too bold. taste is nice and balanced, not too complex, nice showcase while remaining a great session beer. nice carb feeling, smooth full body and a great finish and aftertaste. this is more of a black coffee stout, not a creamy coffee stout, and i like it!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 18, 2009 12oz bottle served in an English pint glass. Dark brown pour with a thick head of tan foam that settled very slowly. Chunky lacing. The aroma included cold coffee, rich chocolate, cream, caramel, and some smooth roasted notes. The flavor was quite roasty along with some strong coffee. Mildly bitter. Very flavorful. Medium-bodied, creamy smooth mouthfeel. Lightly carbonated. Big, robust flavor in an easy drinking, moderate ABV beer. Nicely done. rudolf (1767), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours almost black with a rich tan head. Nose is roasty malt, lightly spicy coffee, cocoa, candied plums, toffee. Flavor is huge roasty malt along with fruity (cherry?) coffee. Rich toffee comes forward and almost dominates the finish, but it is kept in check by roasty coffee & chocolate. chicagodri (1041), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Flavor is slightly sweet, with roasted malt and coffee, but has a little bitterness at the same time. I actually really enjoyed this beer. tedovertu (260), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2009 A extremely thin stout. Decent taste and aroma just extremely watery. The lightest bodied stout I have ever tried. Sweet roasted coffee with some mild hops. Small quickly dissipated head. Maria (6207), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Courtesy of After4ever, thanks Tom! It’s black with a red hue and a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and light rubber. The flavor is slightly sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee and the finish is slightly citrussy/roasted bitter. It’s not very complex, but considering the ABV, it’s quite full-bodied with a lot of flavor.
