Aroma is of toasty grain and a bit of coffee. Taste has a bit of chocolate and more roasted grain and coffee, with a bit of a sour acidic flavor in the back. Not bad, but I feel like something’s a bit off about it. Could have been my bottle. shp555 (1690), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Dark brown beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is roasted flavored coffee, chocolate and grains. Flavor is the much the same with a dry twist and the roasted aspects taking less of a roll. Slight hint of something that reminds me of vinegar. Hop bite shows in slight bitterness lining the flavor. Nice lacing. Over all, not a bad beer but could use some tuning in my opinion. 1010 (212), Marysville, Ohio, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2009 12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours dark brown with nice thick and fluffy tan head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt with some chocolate, caramel and light coffee. Flavor is again mostly roasted malt with chocolate, coffee, and some caramel sweetness. Mouthfeel is a little thin but works good for this style. Really sessionable stout in my opinion. Would be a good beer to transition people from Guinness into some heavier stouts. Pretty good stuff and a nice surprise. drowland (1418), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Bottle... Poured deep, dark brown with a light brown head. Metallic and acidic coffee, with roasted malts on the nose. Well carbonated and thick, dry palate. Toasted malts and coffee flavors. Dark chocolate and a smoked acidic character. A little hoppy as well and a tangy, bitter-sweet molasses finish.
