ubamartian (155), Watertown, Wisconsin, USA Mar 1, 2008 Poured dark brown, with a cream colored head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate, and roast malts. Flavor is dark chocolate a roasty coffee flavor, some smoke maybe. Finish leaves a bit, almost missed it, bitter and dry. Decent, but not my favorite.
dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Feb 29, 2008 A lot more coffee in the aroma than their porter, the flavor aslso has a bit of coffee, probably from the roastiness. Not a lot finish. Seemed to have a bit of sweetness to me. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Feb 28, 2008 Updated: May 23, 2008Pours a very dark brown with a large frothy light brown head and a ring of lace. The aroma is malty/smokey roasted grain, chocolate, dark coffee and fruity. The flavor is more bitter than most dry stouts and light grain, chocolate and dark malts. Finishes short, bitter and lightly acidic. PattyBoy (302), North Liberty, Iowa, USA Feb 27, 2008 Poured black, creamy head. Aroma is chocolate malt and roasts. Flavor is roasts and dark chocolate. Hint of smoke, slight bitterness, finishes dry. Good. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Feb 27, 2008 The best Avery offering I’ve ever had! Poured black with with a creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Some roasted malt flavor with some hops. Finished dry but drinkable. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Feb 19, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours pitch black with a semi-lasting and dense light brown head. Aroma is chocolate malty, roasted and light chalky. Roasted malt flavour, quite acidic toi bitter with a vague chocolate smoothness. Mild fruity notes into the finish. Somewhat without balance and too simple roasted flavour to great. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Feb 17, 2008 Pours a dark, nearly black color with a great creamy tan head and some nice lacing. Great roasty coffee and hops aromas. Flavor is coffee and chocolate, with a slightly bitter finish. Good stout. BigBang (210), Indiana, USA Feb 17, 2008 Very enjoyable stout. Pleasant dryness with good malt/caramel flavor. Fine on the palate (not bad not great). I would drink again.
