(7+) Sweet malt flavour, mild roast throughout, mild chocolate undertones. (7+) Palate is a touch thin for my stout preferences but in this case it seems to add to the drinkability factor.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Courtesy mgumby10. Black pour, sparse thin white head. Chocolate, wet grain, mild hops on aroma. Palate a bit thin for style, but still amenable. Nice subdued roasty chocolate taste - slight hops and some alcohol heat on taste. Nice and even, roasty but alcohol is in check. Sammy (4057), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2008 Courtesy mgumby10....thanks Mike! Pours a very dark chocolate to mahogany brown color. A swirly tan film displays a bubbly edge, while scattered, spotty lacing dots the glass. The nose is very well balanced, showing different chocolate varieties, dark caramel, roasty coffee, cream, and moderate earthy hops. The flavor follows suit, with the chocolate richness turned up a notch towards full-on fudgy goodness. Coffee and espresso add roasted flavors., while vanilla lends its signature smoothness. The body is medium-full, smooth, and creamy. Solid brew. Definitely near the top of the regular stouts
