| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 11, 2008 This is a beer in a class of it’s own. It is delightfully aromatic with roasty notes, malty notes and some hops. It’s appearance is consistent with the stout field. It’s flavor is extremely complex. It is firstmost smokey with notes of malt, hops, perhaps some chocolate, and maybe even coffee bean. It’s a huge beer in terms of complexity and strength. A great stout. railcat1 (582), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2008 Bottle. Body is a thick and blackish brown with a little bit of a tan head. By the time I’m finished waiting for it to warm slightly there is just a thin film on the surface. Aromas are roasted grain and chocolate with anise and a little bit of a dusty characteristic. Flavor is wonderful up front with all of that roasted grain and chocolate goodness, but rather than continuing to develop it kind of falls flat and just ends up with more of the same. Almost thin and watery (at least conisdering the genre) at the end of the finish. rlgk (3378), Vårgårda, Sweden
