| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Black pour with robust tan head. Nose is darkly roasted barley malt and chocolate. Flavors of roasted barley, chocolate, coffee, earthy hop bitterness, cream. I drank one bottle and used the other one for making a robust beer bread (using spent grain, too) and the bread was really good. Surprised by this one. hero12 (61), USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2009 Sold under the current Schell’s Stout label. Pours a very dark brown/black color with a fantastic dense creamy tan head that slowly fades away. Aroma is mildly sweet with some modest chocolate notes, caramel, light coffee and an overall sweet toasted malt ending. Flavor has a stronger chocolate, coffee moves in to provide a bitter slightly burnt note to the brew, a sweet molasses notes comes in to add sweetness with a slightly acidic burnt ending. Density is mod/heavy with the perfect, modest amount of carbonation that allows for the head to stick around and leave good lacing on the glass. A really good brew by Schell. The density is heavy enough where the bitter, burnt notes feel rough while the sweetness compliments the bitter with only a slightly stronger presence making the flavors meld very well. I will definitely have to look for a 6-pack or 12-pack of this brew. TheBeerBaron (219), Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 21, 2009 A blackish cloudy look. The brown head disappears very fast and fades completely. Carbonation can be seen constantly rising through the midnight color. Unmistakable chocolate and coffee aroma with a chicory characteristic. A hop aroma balances the big malt blast that is sniffed in the beginning. The first few sips are too bold and burnt - making one grimace but then I become accustomed to the roasted intensity. Still it is a bit too rough on the tongue and the stomach. Its just not subtle enough to enjoy. BrianHagmeier (257), Coralville, Iowa, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2009 I had this in the normal stout label. It was an excellent reprisintation of the style. Nice roasted malt and bitter balance with just the right amount of sweet. Good beer.
