| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Huge coffee and nutty aromas hit me right off the bat. Same thing, taste-wise, but with more chocolate. Haven’t explored the "dry stout" style too much, but I like this one. Goes down easily, and with a 5.1% ABV, it’s quite easy to make this one a session beer. lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2007 Pours fizzy black with medium mocha head. Aroma of chocolate and almost nutty maltiness. Flavor is predominately chocolate with a good amount of roastiness. Very flavorful for a 5.1%. Nice dry finish. Another good one from Avery. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Pours black with a thin dense light tan head. Light cocoa and roast aromas, maybe a hint of licorice. Light on the palate. A good deal of roast in the taste, with a some mild cocoa notes. Nice dry roasty finish. Very drinkable and tasty.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2007 Pours black with garnet highlights and a rocky, tan head that laces nicely. The nose is of molasses, chocolate and roasted malts. The mouthfeel is medium/full-bodied, tacky, and lively with a roasted bitter finish. The flavor is molasses, light chocolate, and roasted malts with a dry, bitter roasted finish. I was hoping for a bit more of the chocolate flavor to come through, but it’s quite tasty nevertheless. This is one of my favorite dry stouts. nearbeer (1834), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2007 Updated: Dec 29, 2007Bottle. Opaque black with a medium-sized, rocky head that lasts. Aroma is chocolate, lemon grass, and smoke. Flavor is a nice combination of all the same. The use of more lemon-grassy hop flavors in this stout is most welcome, providing a great balance to the strong roasted barley flavors. Too many stouts are so dominated by roasted barley that you may as well drink coffee instead. This one is refreshingly more hop-balanced. Palate is medium-to-full bodied, smooth and not overly dry.
