| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2009 Kind of a bright, roasted, fruity aroma with a dark brown color, and a nice, thick, tan head. The body is a little thin and flavor muted, but licorice comes through well, with a strong roasted and bitter finish. A nice stout, but not a real memorable one. anders37 (4747), Malmö, Sweden

The nose is slightly smokey and malt. The flavor was extremely smooth with a touch of roasted malt and chocolate. Smooth on the palate with an excellent, clean finish. Glad I get to be thde 10th rating and put a score to it. :-) beerguy101 (3946), Newark, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 4, 2008 Tasted at the 5th Annual (2008) Triple Rock Firkin Fest. This dry stout pours a medium black color from the firkin. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is chocolate and coffee, with a touch of burnt malt. A light to medium bodied stout. The malts are cocoa, toffee and coffee. The hops are earthy. Nice balance. Dry and crisp with a nice malt backbone. The soft carbonation and the firkin style really works well for this beer. Very tasty. It was my favorite of the day. Mouthfeel was a touch thin. Finish was dry and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. rayOfBeer (319), El Cerrito, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2008 Poured at Firkin fest a dark black with frothy tan head, aromas of roast and smoke. Flavor is dry & roasty with some coffee and sour grain notes, finishing with a chocolate coco powder dryness. The mouthfeel is a little watery in the middle, but has good flavors and easy drinking. grant (792), Long Beach, CA/Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 23, 2007 Dark, dark brown iwth ample mid-tan head. Woody, smoky coffee-laden aroma. Fairly sour, thinnish body with more coffee, and again, strong smoke. Finishes sour, fairly thin and with light bitterness. A bit more sour and smoky than I prefer.
