| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 9, 2008 From a growler filled at Bellport Beer and Cold Soda. Pours black with a moderate, dense, light brown head that lasted through three-quarters of the glass and left a light coating with each sip. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate, lightly roasted malt, and a few notes of coffee. There is quite a bit of chocolate in the flavor, along with some lightly roasted malt. After several seconds, a very nice hazelnut flavor emerges. Only slightly bitter at the finish. Very rich, silky mouthfeel. Delicious! thewolf (5727), Kolding, Denmark

Pours deep redish black with a big, frothy/bubbly beige-brown head. Aroma is nice, lots of cocoa, light yeast, good sweet chocolate. Low carbonation, nice light creaminess. Flavour is very nice, sweet chocolate, lightly vinious and a good yeast presence. Finish is dry and cocoa-based. Really good. Bockyhorsey (2511), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Sampled at Bocky Bash on 7-5-08 Mild aroma of coco on the nose. Black body with tan head. Seemed like this had a cola carbination to the flavor. Sweet chocolate there also. Not a very good read on this beer for me, but a decent brew. Bradrcr (779), Renton, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2008 7/5/08 at the Seattle International Beerfest. Aroma is mostly true stout, with cream, sweet roast and only the lightest of fruity esters. Appearance is very dark brown with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is roast malt forward with moderate bittering, mostly from toast. There’s good creamy sweetness throughout. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a moderate carb texture. Overall, not as Belgian as expected, but that certainly doesn’t hurt this well made stout. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Dark brown pour with a ring of foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee and malt, with some chocolate and caramel sweetness. Flavor is all of that, with a sour fruitiness hiding in the background. A little lighter than I was expecting in the flavor and on the palate, but really a great brew. Sparky27 (1585), Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Pours a clear dark brown with bubbly tan head. Nose is coffee, cocoa and bakers chocolate. Taste is coffee, mild chocolate, some hops and a bit of funky sourness in the finish. Light to medium mouth feel. BREWMUSKCLES (1070), New Jersey, USA
