Pours black with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet and malty and roasty. This is certainly decent. Glad to have tried it. VTHopHead (924), Barre, Vermont, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2008 Bomber - Poured a cloudy very dark brown in color with a small tan head that hung in there. Aroma is medium roasty with hints of estery fruitiness. Flavor is also roasty with some astringency with mild bitterness. Nice malty base... molassas, brown sugar. Definitely easy drinking. Not the best stout that I’ve had, but good... BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 2, 2008 22oz bomber from Ron’s Market in Farmington. A somewhat vigorous pour yields a good half inch of short-lived tan head resting on a nearly opaque black body with very slight ruby-red highlights. Smells nutty, with black licorice, and a slight roast. Tastes like black licorice with burnt paper and chocolate in the background. Flavors are kind of muted, and the licorice clearly dominates. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Easy enough to drink considering the mouth feel and abv, but I must say I am not overall very impressed with this one... Oakes (8108), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2008 Pretty close to black. Aroma is molassesy, slightly fruity with a hint of roastiness. Rich molasses, some light burnt cashew notes. Very slight fruitiness. Big chewy rich molassesy finish, again with a hint of acridity from the roast, almost like a roast chicory.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 17, 2008 Pours light for a stout, more of a brown color. Very balanced. Hoppy bitter finish, not overbearing. Pleasantly surprised, a very drinkable stout. LooseCannon (936), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark black with a thin chocolatey head with little retention. Aroma was a somewhat sour coffee roast. Tasted similar to the smell but more sour and a bit too bitter. Beer was a bit too dry for the style.
