| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 23, 2009 350ml Bottle at home on 22nd December 2009. Pours thick, dark brown with a pale brown head. Delectable roasted malts, some smoky notes and spiciness - hint of mace/nutmeg. Full, engaging mouthfeel and a rich, dry finish. Superb! plovmand (1730), Helsinge, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a frothy and thick beige head. Mainly the aroma is roasty with coffee notes but I also sense sweet caramel and fruity hops. The flavour is roasted coffee, light chocolate, caramel and hops. A very nice creamy edition. Good depth for the 5.8%. NeoHippie2 (177), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 20, 2009 Wow. This was not what I was expecting at all...but in a good way. I do love sierra nevada but when i think of Sierra Nevada I think hops. So i was expecting this beer to be pretty bracingly bitter. But it isn’t. Nice full-bodied flavor lots of roasted malt character going on here. Finishes with a nice coffee/toffee aftertaste. Wonderful brew and a great stout. Would definitely have this again. joebudzjoe (232), Connecticut, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Tap @ Monster B’s. Dark blackish brown body with nice light brown head. Milky, smooth with soy-like mouth feel. Flavor isn’t too profound but unoffensive. Nice lacing. Nothing special, but would have again.
