| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 26, 2008 12oz bottle. I think Eric brought this one over. Poured a dark brown color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of coffee, roast, and some oats. Tastes of chocolate, lactose, very light coffee, oats, and roasty. I wanted more coffee in this! This just live up to my expectations and just seemed overall a little light. hopscotch (5483), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 15, 2008 Bottle... Pours murky and dark brown with a small, frothy, tan head. Good, swirling, hurricane/Milky Way galaxy-like retention. Milk chocolate and freshly ground, dark roast coffee dominate the nose. Medium to full-bodied and very creamy with prickly carbonation. Heaps of coffee, flanked by slightly lesser notes of chocolate and charcoal. Well-balanced between the burnt and bitter and the chocolaty-sweet. Lengthy, acrid, bitter finish. Kudos to axilla for shipping this very nice brew my way. CaptainCougar (5471), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2009 Bottle shared by kramer: Pours a mostly opaque black with a thin, stringy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel and roasty coffee with a touch of dark chocolate. Body starts with good viscosity and mild sweetness well-balanced with roasty coffee and dark chocolate flavor. A good coffee stout. bu11zeye (5470), Frisco, Texas, USA

Tastes roasty and sweet with some chocolate hints as the beer warms. Rich, textured malt profile. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Deep dark beer with a thick yellow-tan head. The nose has a lot of heavy roasty coffeeish character. Some more fresh coffee character and aroma. Richly sweet with a nice sticky malt character. I like it.
