Pours a deep brownish black color with a foamy head that rapidly dissipates. Flavor is nice roasted dark chocolate notes and hints of oatmeal. Finish is slightly bitter with notes of coffee and dry hops. Light bodied for a stout, otherwise pretty good. Tripplebrew (502), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Pours an opaque chocolate brown with creamy tan head. Aroma is intense roasted malts and thick roasted coffee notes with earthy undertones of fresh bread. Flavor is very malty with hop undertones mixed with chocolate coffee. Earthy wood-like flavors also come through. Body is a mix of creamy light with the fair carbonation present. brenn79 (212), Idaho, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2009 22 oz. bottle- Pours black with a tan head, aroma is chocolate malt and oatmeal. The flavor is a very smooth, rich, and one tasty son of a bitch, pretty good shit. In this beer the alcohol is not hidden, it is one of the main things you taste, but it also has a very nice creamy flavor to it. puzzl (2650), New York, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2009 Bottle shared by Max. Dark roasty, quality coffee aroma, with a nice sweet, nutty caramel in the back. When swirled it gets a bit skunky and vegetal. Nice milky flavor, creamy — at first it was milky in a kind of spoiled milk way — with a mild carbonation and oaty finish. Quite nice, actually.
