| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 17, 2008 [Thanks Davinici] Pours a dark murky thin rootbeer like color with some off-white froth on top. Milk-chocolate and coffee aroma. Flavor is pretty straight forward, light milk-chocolate. Dry finish. Carbonation is pretty extreme and the body is quite light and airy. jkwalking05 (1501), Arlington, Texas, USA

Aroma has some cocoa and dark malt flavors and it is slightly biscuity. Taste is of roasted malts and some cocoa. A little weird in the after taste.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 27, 2008 12oz bottle. Pour is a dark brown/red with a long lasting pillowy head of white cream. Tight tiny bubbles. Aroma is sweet caramel and just a touch of roastiness. Flavor is mild upfront but the roast starts to show more and more as it rolls over the tongue. Very mild stout. Nothing harsh, nothing biting, and kind mild on flavor. But it is easy to drink. The score is worse than it should be. redlight (1496), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 12, 2005 Some roaty aromas, malt. Poured a really dark brown, almost like a porter or a darker brown ale. It did have great roasted flavor, pretty smooth, but it did have an extremely light body. Not bad.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2009 very dark red/ruby pour. The aroma is quite nice. Loads of cocoa powder! Its like smelling cake mix. WOw, the flavoris really quite nice. loads of chocolate, cocoa powder, touches of coffee in the finish with a nice lingering bitteress. Very sweet overall, and not really what i would consider a dry stout. Kinda thin for a stout also, I think this would be at home in the porter category. adrian910ss (1435), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
