Very dark red, only by means of my lamp I could see that it is not entirely black. Coffee aroma with citrus notes and choccolate. Relatively high bitterness and a bit thin mouthfeel. Long aftertaste of choccolate and hops. goldtwins (4080), Nesconset, New York, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Received a bottle via Secret Santa 07 and shared with group at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, Minnesota. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick creamy head that quickly dissipates to a fine film. Aroma of smoked pork, roasted dark malt, some flowery hops molasses, and some chocolate. Taste is full bodied, light carbonated with a big taste of smoked beef jerky, roasted dark malt, some coffee and brown sugar. Finish remains the smoked malt aftertaste that finishes with a light coffee flavor. Ughsmash (4027), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 20, 2005 Bottle BB July 2006.. extra thanks to turg! Poured a thick, oily black.. with deep brown highlights. A towering creamy caramel head and a great deal of intricate lacing were also present... just beautiful! Dark chocolate, espresso beans, mocha, and fresh oats blended for a phenomenal deep roasted nose. Flavors of bitter dark chocolate, freshly-ground coffee, and just lots of black maltage... beautifully roasted and complex, especially considering the low ABV. Smooth and perfectly dry on the palate... long roasted chocolate and coffee finish... lightly sweet. This is a most excellent brew! HogTownHarry (4005), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2005 Updated: Jan 28, 2008Bottle (341ml). (Even better on nitro). Very dark, good thickish tan head, dark and earthy, sometimes almost burnt palate; aromas of chocolate, strong coffee, peat; the hops are there but humbled - way better than Guiness (especially the cheap Guiness we get in Canada) and for twelve bucks for a six at the beer store, a great deal. * re-rate Jan/08 - this is a wonderful beer, but I had it at 4.4 and that’s ... a wee bit too high.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2002 Thick juicy stout, creamy coffee. It does represent classic set of aromas. Nice but I am not sure if deserve to be in top 50 jerc (3911), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Black body, with a big mousse like head. Mild, sweet roasty malt aroma. Very light roast bitterness accents sweet malt and chocolate notes. Creamy medium palate. 7/5/7/4/15 - 3.8<P>
Toronto Festival of Beer 2001 - Creamy and smooth with a roastyness that is on the sweeter side of stouts. The only stout I’ll drink without apprehension - I am not normally fond of stout. 6/3/6/5/13 - 3.3
