| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep black (though translucent while pouring) with a thin dark beige head. Light roast, nice sweetness leaning a little towards caramel and some subtle coffee tones. Quite smooth, lots of nice lactose sweetness paired up with a nice roast flavor. Finishes with some nice back and forth with some sweetness and roast bitterness. Simple, elegant, and really tasty. blipp (1716), Newark, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Draft. Pours near black with a tan head. Roasty and sweet malt in the aroma with a hint of chocolate.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 1, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Dark brown pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is mildly roasty but rather sweet and creamy. Flavor is much the same. A mild roasted note at the beginning with a very sweet and creamy followup. The sweetness really enhances the roasted malts but then overpowers it a little bit and leaves a light hint of caramel and cream. A bit thin but really nice and easy to drink. glkaiser (1172), Seattle, Washington, USA

Silky mixture of chocolate and dark roast with moderate sweetness. Not too intense, but it’s a nice, roasty drinking stout. Nice balance. Solid. Funknmilla (603), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA
