| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Pours clear dark brown with a handsome ecru head. Aroma is toasty and roasty, lots of breads and grains and coffee. Flavor is dark chocolate and black coffee with a medium roasted bitterness and a light acidity. Mouthfeel is light but moussey in texture, making it easy to drink. zdk (215), New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2009 bottle: A decent brew, but I wasn’t all that impressed. Pretty brew and nice roasted malts, prunes, licorice, some nuttiness and soy sauce. Nice creamy mouthfeel. A decent brew, but their double chocolate stout is much better. curly (580), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Nitro-keg pour is solid black with a thick creamy beige head. Aroma is hard to get through the thick creaminess but upon settling there is oat and chocolate malt. Taste is nut, oat, milk chocolate, and vanilla. Texture is thicker than a lot of nitrogen beers and taste is rich and full. Nutty malty finish. KyotoLefty (1400), Kyoto, Japan

Pitch black with a tall, dark brown head. Fine and foamy. Slightly burnt, milky aroma. Very rich flavor, not overly burnt, but good roasted malt. Creamy, slightly milky but not sweet. A dry finish, though not at all overpowering. A good stout, but not really that interesting, especially compared to the double chocolate. It is smooth and easy to drink, though, with a decent balance. njbfr (105), New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Dark brown with a big tan head. Aroma is nice and toasty with a light malty backbone. Slight nuttiness as well. Roasted malt up front that’s not entirely pleasant but has a good creamy mouthfeel and a nutty finish which is nice. Solid but there’s better for the money. obguthr (1015), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 8, 2009 Roasted malt and date aroma, not very strong. Black pour, thick tan head, good glass adherence. Dry, comfortable mouthfeel. Bland tasting. Bark and charcoal are barely discernible beyond midpalate and hints of cola are on the front. There is improvement as the glass warms, but it never quite does it for me. tgncc (810), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 24, 2009 The aroma is very nice, chocolate, roasted coffee, licorice, hops. The appearance is true to the style, dark brown, tan head. The flavor is a little dissapointing: raosted malts, soy, molasses. Unexpectedly thin mouthfeel, really detracts form the experience. The finish is non existent, just some fleeting roasty flavor. This beer started out strong when opened, and went downhill from there. Bragesnak (2257), Aarhus, Denmark
