| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2008 Bottle; rating 1200. Dark brown in color with a small to medium, short lasting khaki head. Aroma of roasted malt with pronounced coffee undertones; some toffee and cocoa notes. Enjoyed the coffee in the flavor, definitely done with some moderation; I’m not a big coffee fan. With some warmth, the coffee did come out to play a bit more. Alcohol well hidden, only the slightest touch of throat warming. A careful balance between bitter and sweet components. Found it to be a bit oaty, which I liked. Overall it was very good and easy to drink. alafito (334), tijuana, Mexico
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 29, 2008 This is more of a Vanilla Stout. Aroma is milk and coffee with loads of vanilla. Taste is the same with some milk chocolate and roasted coffee beans. Palate is super sweet but not cloying. Slightly carbonated but enough to offset the sweetness. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 27, 2008 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a dark, inky chocolate brown, with slight red highlights around the edges. Aromas are of roasted coffee beans, baking chocolate, some alcohol. Flavors are of bittersweet baking chocolate, strong espresso, pipe tobacco, alcohol. Thick mouthfeel, slick, oily, somewhat chewy. Alcohol is slightly subdued, but sneaks up on you in a hurry. Finishes slight dry, somewhat chalky & roasty, but delicious all the same flatmatt (224), Northville, Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2008 22 oz bottle of the 2008 version. Pours opaque black with a nice medium tan head. Aromas of roasty malts, dark chocolate, coffee, a bit of alcohol. Nice taste of coffee dominates the flavor, dark chocolate, roastiness, a bit of dark fruit. Certainly wouldn’t guess it’s 12%. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Nice and enjoyable. Ibrew2or3 (2761), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 17, 2008 Courtesy of Gillard. Pours deep dark with thin mocha head. The aroma is the obvious label stated coffee, some chocolate, a bit of prunes and caramel. The taste is rich maltiness consisting of dark roasted malts, caramel and chocolate. The coffee comes in near midway and builds some toward the finish. It isn’t the usual Folgers coffee type grains but more a quality brand of rich dark roasty French Roast. In the finish I get a mild warming sensation from the alcohol. Another amazing brew from these fine people. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

It is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Very smooth and bitter finish. daknole (2940), Plantation, Florida, USA
