| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Bottle thanks to Heemer77. Opaque black with small tan/beige pancake head. Aroma is a little dry but smokey, coffee, and a litt roasted malt. Sweet coffee with a little cherry, a little roast, very nice overall, a little sweet though, I can dig it though. Medium to light body with a stinging sort of carbonation. I can dig it and it actually tastes like it might have a little oak on it. But that is completely wrong anyway. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 30, 2008 Pours a deep dark chocolate colour. Head is full and creamy. Taste is chewy, very robust brew overall. Aromas of black licorice and nugett. Taste is silky with coffee and vanilla flavors. Ibrew2or3 (2766), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2008 Growler courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep brown with thin tan head. The aroma is of coffee beans mixing with various levels of roasty malts. The taste has a mild level of smooth dark roasted malts along with a touch of drying malt astringency. The malts seem to be a mixture of burnt, chocolate and some mild levels of sweet caramelization. Fairly thin mouth feel but fine for the style really. Enjoyable product. kseecs16 (907), Naperville, Illinois, USA

Fizzy white head, and a small ring of lacing. Big roasted coffee aromas, with caramel and distant toffee. Roasted malts in the flavor hit first, followed by caramel and vanilla. Nothing exciting, but very tasty. Smooth and easy drinking. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA
