| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2004 Thick head but it faded very fast, aroma is carmel, deep ruby color. I thought it would be way to carbonated, but it wasn't too bad at all. As far as actual flavor, slightly bitter, but not too bad at all. Just a slighty above average beer, but I also havn't head any other altbiers to compare to it. JPDIPSO (4912), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 30, 2002 Amber with a ruby tint. Smaller tan head. Carmelized malts dominate the nose. Fairly light in body, but smooth with a touch of carbonation zip. Touch of zest distracts form the malt. Too much bitterness for style. Crit (2405), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 11, 2002 Very possible a bad bottle. Poured & tasted flat. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 11, 2002 This is an unusual twist on the alt style, IMHO. It’s an extremely roasty, chocolatey altbier that’s heavy on some nice malt and possesses solid hop balance. Very enjoyable. beerguy101 (3946), Newark, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2002 Dark brown color, Medium head. Roasted malts, nearly no hops, little bitterness. Nice, simple beer. Good flavor. MaxPower (961), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2002 I didn’t know this was a stout,Roasted malt flavor, nice hop bitterness. joet (1709), Fulton, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 12, 2002 This beer has dark roasty and doughy malt flavors balanced with a long and hearty bitterness. I’d say the roast flavors more resemble charcoal than coffee or chocolate. This is a unique brew.
