| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Had this beer on 10/23/1998. Color is a deep black with low carbonation and a light head. Aroma is rich with the scent of roasted malts, its almost a sweet smell. Taste is deep rich and roasted. it starts with rich and yet crisp body and right here you can already taste the roasted flavors coming though. It goes down easy as the flavors come to life in your mouth and throat. Finish is as full of flavor as a beer can get with rich roasted malt flavors and an even bitterness.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 16, 2007 This is like an iced coffee with carbonation and alcohol added. Pour was an alomost black with a thin tan ring for a head. Aroma of mostly roasted malt but a little bit of coffee in there. Taste was huge coffee with roasted malt and a hint of caramel. Nice dry aftertaste with a little bitterness. Chalk another win up for Avery. Skinnyviking (4141), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Bottle. Fluffy high and lasting light brown head. Pitch black body. Lovely strong coffee aroma with a fair amount of hops. High hops bitterness in the flavor which is otherwise of coffee with a good deal of carbonation and a long bitteraftertaste. I would have guessed on a much higher alcohol percentage. treadyroc (112), St. Leonard, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 13, 2007 From the bottle. Very deep, dark brown pour with a half-finger head that lingers on top. Can’t place the aroma, but very pleasing.
Definitely a rich, dark, malty aftertaste reminiscent of coffee. Very pleasant to drink; solid mouthfeel. Almost sweet at the beginning & not overly bitter at the end. Very drinkable. oldno7 (137), Spokane, Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 11, 2007 Pours black with a creamy tan head. Has a pleasant aroma of malts, vanilla, semi sweet chocolate and brown sugar. Flavor has notes of chocolate right off the bat then follows coffee, malts, roasted and a smoke finish.
Umm umm. Gotta appreciate a good dry stout, very uncommon. BigMilly8 (374), Holiday, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 10, 2007 From bottle : Aroma is coffee, hops, and a hint of alcohol. Pours black with nice finger and a half of white fluffy head. Flavor of hops, with a little bit of chocolate and coffee kicking in the end. Feels light in the mouth for a stout, and oily, but goes down very easy, like a stout you could chug. I like it though. norsedoc (162), USA
