| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2000 very dark colour, burnt caramel aroma, smooth, slightly sour, sweet aftertaste, quite complex - a must try Aurelius (2655), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 29, 2002 This rating based on a well-aged bottle. I really liked the way that this one smelled -- very, very mellow chocolate while still highlighting the dark malts. Exceptionally smooth drinking, striking a good balance in bittering between the hops and the dark roasted malts. Appearance gets a minor ding for having no head at all, but the label and brew appearance were right on. Palate is medium-bodied, with just the right bitterness and pH. Well done. jayme9874 (756), Hamburg, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2001 Almost black. Nice roasty/caramelly nose. Carbonation is perfect, nice body, malts are outstanding and complex with an memorable hoppy/dry finish. A little thin in body is whereI have to deduct points. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2004 Thanks to goldtwins for this one. Pours dark brown/ruby with a huge tan head. Not much lacing, but the head stayed around forever. Aroma of malt, chocoff, cabernet, and fruit. The taste showed roasty malt, with fruitiness, some nuttiness, and some finishing kriekiness. Palate was lighter than most stouts. This one had some Newcastle brown alishness to it, and was nicely complex. Quaffable.
