| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Jet black pour with 1-inch thick tan head. Aroma is assertive like rubbing alcohol, roasted barley, oats. Smooth texture with a medium body. Begins with malt sweetness - molasses, caramel and chocolate, chewy toffee - and continues into a balancing hop spice bitterness, though subtle. Finishes on a cadence of dry and bittersweet coffee flavor. Malted barley combined with oatmeal and more roasted barley add a nice nuance to this beer which separates it from the average stout. Slick palate and a somewhat abrupt finish.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 1, 2009 Szinte teljesen átláthatatlanul fekete sör,vékony de határozott világos bézs színű krémes habbal a tetején.Illata édeskés,csokoládés zabkorpa kekszhez hasonló.Íze édeskés,csokis amibe frissen pörkölt kávéaroma is lopakodik egy kis égetett cukorral és vaníliával.Tetszik hogy nem túl élénk,teste nem túl sűrű de mégis érezni hogy igen tápláló ital.Utóíze engem arra emlékeztet,amikor régen otthon a főzött kakaóba barna kenyeret dobáltam és amikor teleszívta magát kikanalaztam. Aztán kiszárad a száj tőle és hosszan így is marad,hacsak nem iszunk rá még egy kortyot.Remek ital,nekem nagyon bejött! waltersrj (36), Washington, USA
