Nice smooth chocolate and ash taste. This beer was creamy and had a nice brown chocolate head that was excellent. Very smooth and creamy. Went during "hoppy hour" so this made it even better/cheaper. Anyways, a wonderful stout with a nice creamy and coffee/chocolate taste. Have fun drinking this one. xmarcnolanx (793), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA

Aroma is chocolate goodness. Taste is sweet fruit, chocolate, citrus hop bitterness. Complex and very solid. jujubeast6000 (784), Houston, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2005 big dark tan head, black body, not a lot in the stank dept. good bitters, roasty and dry, chocolately, oddly tart, i’ve always wanted to drink from a bottle with lots of x’s on it, feels like the cartoons RollinHard (760), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 24, 2009 Pours black with a small brown head that doesn’t last at all. Aroma disappoints me with only a slight bit of dark chocolate and anise, with more emphasis on herbal pine, burnt coffee, bitter tea, and just really burnt and astringent overall. Similar taste overall, but with a bit more fudge, but otherwise....and the ashy finish seems off. Medium bodied, mild creamy texture. I like it’s half-imperial stout approach, but the flaws bother me too much. mcbackus (750), Merritt Island, Florida, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2004 Black pour raising a thick tan head. Nose is full of roasted goodness. Medium bodied with a light roasted malt bitterness. Expected more of that from the nose. Coffee makes a short appearance in the background along with some dark chocolate. djd07 (740), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Bomber. Pours a very dark brown with a medium creamy tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong roasted malt with alcohol, smoke, and chocolate. Full bodied with a thick roasted malt and oatmeal flavor with a bitter finish. A very good stout from Pike.
