| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 11, 2006 Clear dark colour, medium head. Aroma of burnt chocolates. Bitter taste, watery feel. I quite liked it, but I know I’m the lone fan of wateriness round these parts. phaleslu (575), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 19, 2009 Draft from La Cave du Vin in Cleveland. Pours almost black with brown head that hangs around for the ride. Full bodied and very attractive. Coffee, roasted malt, smoke, molasses. Lacks the complexity of the best stouts out there but a good, unpretentious sweet stout that goes well with any pub food. ratman197 (3266), Arvada, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2009 On tap at Tommyknocker poured a clear dark brown nearly black with a small lasting brown head. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee and light vanilla. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of vanilla with a smooth lingering roasty finish. tronraner (1939), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 27, 2006 Knoxville Brewers’ Jam 2006. Pours amber black with a very small brown head. The aroma is strong on molasses. The flavor surprised me with its smokiness. Typical stout elements are there, too-- chocolate, coffee, burnt toast. But it is dominated by bacon and molasses. A bit unorthodox, maybe, but that’s not a bad thing. I like this quite a bit. ucusty (1920), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2007 This is a very underrated beer. Black pour with thick off white head. mocha and espresso and a sweet finish. slightly creamy tasting. bleeng (600), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Draft at the brewery. Black with a small tan head. Very roasty and alcoholic nose. Flavors are very roasted malts, a bit alcoholic, some chocolate. Palate is very smooth and drinkable, rich and foamy. Well done beer-a bit underated IMO. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2005 Draft, at Great Decatur Beerfest. Black opaque pour. Huge sweet chocolate and coffee aroma. More sweet chocolate and roasty flavors, with some subdued hops. Very drinkable sweet stout, though not my favorite style of stout. No nitro at the beerfest. timsilvia32 (447), from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Charlotte Octoberfest. Black pour, slight cream colored head. Roasted malt, light cocoa aromas. Some roast malt and coffee flavor throughout, a small amount of mocha/chocolate. A little chalky or "powdery" I guess. Maybe a bit confused on what they were trying to accomplish here, but overall not bad. A step above normal, but not near the top of this style.
