| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 2, 2008 Disappointed by this one. Aroma is heavy chocolate and cocoa with a bit of hops, yeast, and oak. Pour yields a large creamy brown head with excellent lacing and an extremely dark brown body. Taste is of strong coffee, but it is quite watery. Mouthfeel is watery too. BOLTZ7555 (1099), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2008 This is a stout that is an every day type of beer. Although this doesn’t possess the boldness of other stouts (Speedway Stout, Bell’s Batch 7000, Yeti Imperial Stout), it holds up well in terms of balance and quality. Visually appealing, amazing bouquet, and extremely smooth...keep this one available for a rainy day. topherh (936), Kearney, Missouri, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2008 From bottle : Pours a very dark brown/black, with a thin light brown head, the dissapates fairly quick, to a foamy ring. Nose is roasted and malty, some hops and a little alcohol. Taste is really good. Roasted malts, and some alcohol on the way down with a very coffee flavored aftertaste. Medium to thick in body, but has very good drinkability for a stout. Palate is creamy, very nice stout. Rakluba (33), Cary, North Carolina, USA
