The aroma was strong milk chocolate with a light coffee presence. The aroma was lightly roasty with a bit of smoke and caramel and a lightly fruity nature. The beer arrived black with a beige low yet lasting head which laced the glass. The flavor was chocolate and a fruity roasty nature. Milk chocolate with a nice fruity flavor and lightly acidic roasted grain bittering. The finish was dry with a light bit of roast and milk chocolate lasting into the aftertaste. The body was medium-full with a moderate level of carbonation and a creamy texture on the palate. A pretty nice milk stout.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 23, 2007 As "Star Spangled Stout" at the 2007 Hickory Hops. Black, or at least very dark brown, and a thick creamy tan head. Chocolatey, earthy aroma. Smoove, milky palate, with notes of coffee and chocolate. A touch dry at the finish, but not overly so. Tasty Stuff. NachlamSie (1650), Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 19, 2006 Draught. Pours brown. Notes of chocolate, coffee, and dust are in the aroma. I detected bakers’ chocolate and instant coffee in the mouth, perhaps a stray hop here or there. The finish is semi-bacony with lingering coffee. This has a very medium mouthfeel. Easily my favorite R.J. brew, but not great. slang (407), Columbia, South Carolina, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 4, 2005 Good looking stout. Nose of choclate and coffee. Taste is very much coffee with a whiskey side to it as well. But very coffee to me w/ only minimal chocolate character. Good, just not really my kind of stout but get xtra points for being local.
