| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 23, 2002 Updated: Jul 28, 2003Rating #1 Bottle (7 4 6 3 15). A butterscotch and wine-like aroma and a small creamy light brown head on a very black body. A light silky smooth stout. Kind of an odd taste, somewhat fruity, hard to pin down, but worth trying. Rating #2 Bottle (7 4 6 3 14). Solid black color with a dark brown head. Roasted coffee aroma with some sweet chocolate. Full bodied, lightly roasted, sweet, and bitter chocolate.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 3, 2002 A decent stout that is almost more like a heavy porter. Only .99 for a large bottle at trader joes. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 29, 2002 Very dark, quite a smoky taste and smell-reminds of Schlenkerla Rauchbier(Ger), if you like smoked beer the German one is a touch better but this deserves kudos just because of its distinctness, also a very dark and murky brew. I think it’s good overall. beerboy991966 (1), California, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 23, 2002 I love this beer it is my daily bread. It has a rich, strong flavor with a great finish. I just wish it were easier to obtain. Instead I have resorted to buying it 4-5 cases at a time. TheDarkertheBetter99 (27), Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2001 A little sweet for a dry stout. I’d call this an American style because it is crisp like one, has the oilyness of an oatmeal, the character of an Imperial, and the bitterness of an Irish. I’m confused. It’s all that and a bag of chips. I’d increase it’s alcohol content and gravity, but other than that, it’s bootylicious. Admiral (524), Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, USA
