Dec 23, 2006 Appearance is very dark with reddish hints. A thin medium tan colored foam appears but not for long. Aroma is caramel malt and is on the sweet side. First taste brings a nice sharp robust zing. It is dry in the mouth but has a hint of sweet malt in the flavor. Some barley can be tasted and there is a bit of a brandy taste without the warmth. At mid glass some dark fruit begins to come out but the dryness and barley themes remain and might even be enhanced. Others have noted a chocolate flavor in this beer but I did not notice it. The dry stout style is not an exciting style to me, but this one had some zing and life but you had to look for it.

Dec 21, 2006 Bottle. Poured black with a tan head that left light lacing. Roasted aroma with dark chocolate and coffee. The flavor followed up the same with chocolate and coffee. Light body for stout, dry, and a coffee bean aftertaste.

Dec 15, 2006 Pours chocolate colored with a fluffy brown head. Aroma of coffee and chocolates with some roasted malt. Taste is pretty much the same with the coffee being most prominent. I would have again... maybe.

Nov 28, 2006 Dark chocolate brew with cappuccino froth, with aromas of fruit, then bread and chocolate. Tastes a bit tired and old. Some chocolate comes through but Old No. 38 is forgettable, like something outdated failing to prove it still matters. Not enough, but decent in a common kind of way.
