| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 17, 2009 bottle thanks to swalden28. poured a dark brown almost black with a tan head. aroma of caramel, dark roasts, hops, and a touch of chocolate. flavor was dark roasts, chocolate, and some bitter. kinda thin for a stout and had high carbonation. not bad but was hoping for better. ahmashar (5), Stafford, Texas, USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 15, 2009 Updated: Jan 22, 2009This yours brew even better than last years. Pours relatively light for a stout, with less aroma than you would expect, but delivers great flavor. Strong malty flavor from start to finish with a great mouthfeel and finish. I wonder if this beer would do better marketed as a porter, however. Mutualaid (136), Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 14, 2009 Pours almost black with a thick, creamy beige head. Faint aromas of toffee and caramel and little else. Huge toasty malt flavor up front, with a husky astringency in the middle. Fully, creamy body and an almost smoky finish. Not a stellar beer but deserves better ratings than it gets. LtDan (512), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA
