Appearance: Deep mahogany with cherry wood. Large tanned creamy , rocky head. 4+ Nose: Sweet , vinous , roasty black malts , bit of ash , plum. Dry backing on mineral hop. 8- Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied. Malty sweets with green hops well blended with roasted walls. Quiet rich for lighter beer. Slight acidicity gives to complexity. A bit of tweaking with formula can make this brew great. Slightly off target when comes to ingredient interaction. Still quiet good.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Poured almost black with a short, almost tan head. The aroma was malt, roasted coffee and slightly sour. The flavor was better with plenty of malt, coffee and a slight bit of creamy chocolate. The mouthfeel was closer to thin than it was to medium. Overall it’s a serviceable example of the style. sebletitje (1978), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Pours black with tan / dark beige head.
Aroma of strong roasted malts, light chocolate.
Taste was a lot lighter than anticipated in the aroma. Light roasted malts, coffee, light bitter hoppy finish, some notes of light dark fruits.
Easy to drink, a little too watery. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Nice moderately sweet malty aroma. Black body, small brown head. Flavor is very roasty, almost burnt. Not unpleasant. Lots of malt, some fruit and coffee. The finish has a bit of bitter bite. Not bad at all, in fact quite well done. luttonm (307), Belgrade, Serbia

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Pours black with great tan head. Aroma is roasty with chocolate and caramel. Flavor is much the same, but to a lesser degree. Palate is horrendously thin for a stout... Nothing too special here. yespr (12404), Copenhagen O, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2008 12 fl oz bottle at Svea, courtesy of joergen. Pours unclear and dark brown to black with a small and dense tan head. Berry fruity aroma with a distinct roasted malt note. Sweet fruity at first with a dark acidic roasted malty flavour following. Light wooden and dry. Bitter and mild berry fruity into the far finish with a nice hard roasted flavour and acidity.
