| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2007 Dark beer with a foamy chocolate milk head. The nose has the dark chocolate you would expect, with something lactic in it. Dusty chocolate, raisen toast and that lactic acidity. Decent chocolate beer. JPDIPSO (4944), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 21, 2007 As near black brew that I have had in a while. Moderate tan head with a nice sheet of lace. Simple aromas of roasted malt and charcoal. I catch a touch of licorice when I search for more, but even that maybe a stretch. LIght feel, not quite silky and not watery, seems to be simple again. Semi-sweet chocolate flavors seem to dominate. A herbal hops presence is wondering about from the start through the linger; dry herb, grass and light dry spice. Reminds me of a dark chocolate bar with some green nibs. My interest is piqued as things seem a bit amiss. An end of an evening type stout, like a cup of coffee for the road. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 20, 2007 Pours mahogany with a small dark tan head. Slight aroma of chocolate, a hint of coffee and sweet cream, and just a bit of fruity berry notes in there. Wow, really not much to the flavor either. Watered down coffee, cream, a bit of sugar, and some cocoa powder. At least the palate is nice, but nothing special. Medium body, almost none-existent finish, but a very nice velvety mouth-feel. Uninteresting and fairly disappointing, maybe if this was a 5 or 6 $ sixer it could pull it’s weight a bit more. lampeno420 (321), Zeeland, Michigan, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 19, 2007 Kind of disappointed with a name like Triple Chocolate Stout. Sort of bitter taste, and no where near what I thought a Triple Chocolate Stout should be like. Not very chocolatey at all and really not a lot of coffee flavor either. Just sort of bland. henrikb (1306), Aarhus, Denmark
