Smell: Aroma of rich, roasted dark malts with plenty of dark chocolate and licorice. Faint hint of soy.
Taste: Dark maltiness with an airy sweetness to it. Some licorice. Full roasted grain flavor. Super soft touch of floral hops near the roasty, dry finish. The taste, overall, has a little sourness to it.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Best beer in history? No, but it’s a tasty, nicely drinkable stout. waolsen (1224), Littleton, Colorado, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Bottled and shared with FatPhil. Very dense, brown head. Aroma of our own chocolate mud cake (which is fantastic). A bit papery though. Surprise! It doesn’t taste chocolate! It’s rather burnt with earthy, milky flavours. Long finish. holdenn (1449), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 11, 2008 22 oz bottle. Thanks to drewbeerme for sharing this on Memorial Day. I’ve been wanting to try this one for quite awhile. Pours a brown black color with a creamy brown head. Roasted malts, chocolate and a touch of smoke in the aroma. The body is a little watery. Roasted and slighlty ashy malts are dominating the palate. Light bakers chocolate flavors with charred malt, hops, and molasses in the finish. Decent beer, especially for a standard stout. I’d like to see them try to imperialize this. CheersMate1 (864), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 23, 2008 Very good beer. Went to the brewery today, and it was amazing. 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. djd07 (755), 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.
