| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Pours a very dark brown/light black. No head at all. Nose of chocolate, yeast, raisin, roasted malt and hops. Odd flavors. Grape, a little sour. No roast characteristic at all. Slight chocolate. Thick mouth feel. Carbonation is a little sharp. Expected it to be smoother from the lack of head. Not impressive at all. Disappointing. With such a neat story, I expected a lot more. malrubius (999), Valley Stream, New York, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Sorry to report that this is a sub par stout. Tasted very weak with no character and too much carbonation. Hardly seemed like a stout. Many better options than this out there. Rastacouere (5553), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 25, 2009 See through very dark brown beer covered by a rapidly fading light beige head. Chocolate cookies toastiness, bready even lives in parallel with a cocoa roastiness. Bittersweet all along, like chocolate milk with roastiness involved. Grainy all throughout. Fair bodied, medium in size with a tight small-bubbled carbonation. More hops than most in there, ensuring a flowery, herbal finish which dries out softly from the initial sweet biscuitiness. Good. thornecb (1778), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
