| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a small brown head. Aroma is dry, very roasty, tasty chocolate. Taste is smooth, creamy, roasty chocolate with a hint of something strange (the lactose?). Nice mouthfeel. This is good and unique. Not necessarily a memorable beer amongst the millions of stouts out there but good nonetheless. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 17, 2007 Thanks to DrBayern for this one - Deep dark brown/black pour with a big lasting puffy tan head on it. Sweet, creamy milky roasted malt smell to it. Almost milk chocolate like. Taste was roasty, less sweet than expected, with a nice light roasty bitterness to it. A bit more carbonated than ideal in my bottle, especially for a stout, but I see the last couple raters didn’t have the same experience. I’d prefer a touch less carbonation and a tad more sweetness, however it is still a fine milk stout and one worth trying. SoLan (1427), Orlando, Florida, USA

Flavor adds sweetness and nuttiness. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Decent brew, very drinkable. beerbuzzmontreal (2931), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2007 Pours a pitch black color with a ring of light brown lace. Good aroma of chocolate and roasted malt with a lactic presence. Very pleasant lactic flavor with roasted malt and chocolate, it finishes with bitterness. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. Good stuff. yobdoog (1520), Woodridge NY, New York, USA

Sweet creamy malt aroma. Caramelly, chocolate, roasted malt. Some oak or woodiness. background of hops taste. As it warms, off mouthfeel, not so easy going down. elgiacomo (98), Chickamauga, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 8, 2007 Bottle, best before 10/07. Pours a dark brown with a very small light brown head that diminishes to a ring. Aroma is primarily roasted. Flavor is roasted chocolate, coffee. Finish/aftertaste is a bit different and took me by surprise when I first had this. Might be the lactose/milk sugar. Took some getting used to, but I like it. Medium body with little carbonation. I do prefer their Porter, but this is a solid sweet stout. obguthr (1067), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | Sep 7, 2007 Aroma smells of more alcohol than is present., nothing else is distinguishable except maybe prunes. Deep dark ruby brown color with an extremely thick creamy tan head. Balanced chocolate malt and hop flavor. Unfortunately, it is dominated by the presence of alcohol. Coffee, raisin, and hop finish.. Unusually thin body for a stout. One of my lower rated stouts. HighlanderOne (546), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 1, 2007 Poured from bottle. Aroma full of malt. Took time to pour, very foamy, but worth the wait. Nutty, roasty and sweet, with some hop and banana and vanilla in there as well. Deep, full feel. Good finish. Quite outstanding.
