If so they have skimped on the grain bill. Hops have overtaken a bit too much a tweaking of sourness but not an awful lot. Tolerable. Average carbonation. Nice bottlecap though. gwpom (253), Akron, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 9, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Deep black color, dark brown head and average stout aroma. A bit on the watery side. An okay stout. I’m biased tho cuz I’ve been to the vineyard/brewery.... they do some good bocks. Got a six-pack of this at Consumers, and will have no problem finishing it off. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA

Pour was dark brown, with a 2 color tan/brown head? That was nice. Nose had some sweet malts, some cream and coffee. Nice lacing as well. Wow! I have no idea how to date this, but there is on absurd off taste, like cough syrup and other medicine. Diactle? Not nearly as good in the mouth as in the nose. xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2006 Chocolate, burnt nose, a vague, sweet fruitiness. Reasonable head, light mocha colour, dissipates quickly. Dark, rich colour, very opaque. Light bitterness, doesn’t linger too long, fairly full in the mouth. Moderate carbonation. Didn’t get the sweetness that some mentioned. I enjoyed it.
