| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Bottle from Steve’s. Black, somewhat thin white head. Nose is deeply roasted malt, a small amount of burnt malt, woody fruit pits. All of that is balanced by chocolaty (almost minty) hops. Flavor is chocolate, more highly roasted malt. There is more of that burnt malt adding a welcome crispness. A little toffee and chocolate comes in at the finish, perfectly balanced by the hops. I think this is the last bottle of standard NG beer I brought back from my trip & it is by far the best. I’d be very happy to get this locally. amishcaravan (239), Winona, Minnesota, USA

Taste started sweet with some coffee, licorace and oats. Some bitterness as it warmed. Maybe a bit thin for a stout.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 12, 2008 This beer didn’t really strike me as a stout - it seemed more akin to a brown ale. It had a lot of caramel taste and some copper color. Not bad, but not much unusual about it.
It poured a copper color with a bit of head. Aroma was of some caramel and earthiness; not a lot of roasty character. Flavor was a bit coppery/metallic with lots of body and a fair amount of caramel-ness and with a finish that was a bit earthy. I didn’t taste any evidence of the presence of oatmeal or pick it up in the mouthfeel, which was unremarkable.
This beer was OK, but nothing too unusual. I’d weekly recommend it.
I bought this as a single bottle at 3 Cellars in Franklin, WI. doubelknv3 (568), Illinois, USA
