Sweet aroma of sugared coffee, malt and dark chocolate, darkest brown, ruby at the edges, small toffee head. Taste is a sweet toasted malt, chicory, burnt toast. Medium bodied, very well balanced, sweet, dry and bitter all at once. Terrific. Thanks Radek Kliber.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 5, 2007 Bottle. Clear dark brown body. White rum / caramel aroma with just a touch of the dark stuff at the end. Good flavor - a well blended mix of sweet golden raisin-y sweetness with coffee bean roasty chocolate. Just-velvety mouthfeel - compliments the overall strength well. A fine stout! hershiser2 (923), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2005 Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single at Whole Foods, Charlottesville. Pours clear dark brown with a large brown head. Aromas of bitter toasted malts, caramel, and slight coffee. Lightish flavor, which for some reason, I like in this beer. Cold coffee, caramel, toffee, and not in the slightest bit heavy. Finishes with a coffee bitterness. Nice. adrian910ss (1436), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 4, 2005 Bottle. Nearly opaque body with a thin film of bubbles with great lacing. Nose is light coffee, tree bark, and roastiness. Taste-sharp CO@, roasted wood, char, chocolate powder, coffee, amazingly rich. I was expecting this to be quite thin and watery, but it isn’t. Very full bodied and yummy. Impressive. fro2218 (466), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 26, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Deep ruby, nearly opaque, nice one inch lasting tan frothy head, nice drapes of lacing (3+). Very dry aroma, bitter chocolate, some coffee, burnt treacle, a fair amount of herbal bitterness. The taste is mostly chocolate and low-level fresh herbal bitterness - simple but damn that’s lovely. Creamy, luscious mouthfeel, sweet and nicely dry in the finish - damn this is good stuff, I’d drink this all the time!
