| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 28, 2006 Growler sample: Opaque black with an oily viscosity and a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of candied fruits, grapes and plums with a mild roastiness. Body starts with a lightly sweet, earthy, dark fruity complex flavor with lots of bittering coffee amid a thin watery palate. A decent brew, but could use some more body. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2004 Updated: Dec 17, 2005Pitck black color, thick tan head, very creamy, just like nitros usually are. Tons of lacing. The aroma has some light maltiness with a touch of fruit with astringency from the dark malts and bitter cofffee grounds. The flavor is very well balanced between alcohol, stout flavors and roasted coffee, similar to Speedway but lighter & easier drinking. The finish is mainly one dimensional with the roast & nitro coming through. Good stout, better on cask or CO2 though. Tried again on CO2. Came with no head but tasted similar goldtwins (4086), Nesconset, New York, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 27, 2006 Very little head on this one on an opaque black body. Coffee is underneath the candied hops. Dry body. Interesting. Hops and coffee blend well in this one. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2004 Pours a dark brown, almost black. The head is big and creamy and there is sheet lacing. The nose is of chocolate, roast, coffee/mocha, and light floral hops. Flavors of roast chocolate and some coffee. The malts were not as strong in the flavor as the aroma. Hops were nice and bitter. Nitro creamy palate, chewy body and a bitter finish of coffee.
