3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This brew will not be around much longer as they are phasing it out. Arrived to the table a dark brown/black with a tan head and low carbonation. Aromas are dark fruit with some light roasted malt notes. Feeling of the brew is slightly watery. Flavor has a lot of prune, light roasted malt, some chocolate and a light dryness to the end. Not bad in flavor and aroma for the style just lacks a good feel to back up the other senses.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. flavor has more of a burnt quality to it with some coffee but is very watery. Most people on here have enjoyed this one but i think is sub-par. Its to thin to be a good stout.

Draught at Alandale Brewpub. Dark brown with thin off-brown head. Coffee and roasted malts on the nose, more of the same on the tongue and the faintest hint of chocolate, though the coffee wins out in the end. A touch thin but overall not too bad.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample at the brewpub. Pours a nearly opaque dark brown color with a dense dark beige head that dissipates slowly. Thin sheet of lacing. The aroma contains coffee and dark malt along with a touch of hops. Medium-bodied with a coffee and dark chocolate flavor, as well as some malt and hops. The finish is sweet malt at first with a mocha finish. Pretty good overall.
