| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 12, 2003 Nice and dark with a good head. No particular smell that I get. Taste is bizzare. I agree with Cougar, sour and watery body. Disappointing. CaptainCougar (5842), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Pleasant roasted finish, but this should be stoutier, if that's a word. JPDIPSO (4960), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 18, 2002 RERATE: Picked up a ’fresh’ sample at the brewery today in my travels. Appears about the same with very little head. Very malty aroma and still a slight sour/silage aroma. Decent caramel and roasted malt flavors. This one must not age well. Original Rating 12/12/02 Overall ’8’
Nearly opaque brown. Earthy oak and light coffee aromas. Smallish tan head. Quite thin in feel. Fleeting malt flavors that go right to a vinegar sourness and mouth puckering finish. Definately Contaminated. Pjones6738 (500), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 5, 2002 This beer pours as dark as...as...a really dark thing. Smells like a particularly watery coffee. Taste is malty, and a little sweeter than I’d expected. Not a very thick or flavorful beer. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Apr 26, 2002 nice dark beer. Palate is good, but not great. I wouldn’t drink it all the time, but wouldn’t pass one up at the bar. THE BEER BARON (275), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2002 On tap this beer is pretty damn good. Its not quite as thin as it was from the bottle. And the flavor was better. The Friar99 (222), Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 11/20 | Sep 11, 2001 The smell is extremely good, as is the appearance. But to describe the taste in one word, I would say - lacking. legion242 (1614), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 5, 2001 Very thin stout. The bottle was cool though.
