| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 15, 2005 An easy drinking stout, but nothing spectacular. Medium to light mouthfeel, mildly creamy. Some grain and carefuly roasted so that not burned. Lightly chocolate. Nicely carbonated. More malted sweet than bitter, mild spice. Thanks Viggio for the fresh bottle from Maine.

Pours black with a huge brown cascading head and leaves great lacing for a stout. Flavor is roasty chocolate malt, sweet mlik chocolate, mocha, and coffee ice cream. Palate is smooth and creamy. An excellent stout. radiomgb (1957), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 15, 2005 Bottle. Deep brown in colour with a lasting beige coloured head. The aroma was of cold coffee, slate caramel malts, mild roast. The flavour was of coffee, chocolate malts, slightly sweet, some vanilla and cream. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finish is similar to that of old coffee, a bit thin, dry. Still quite nice. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 19, 2005 Pours a black color with a thick offwhite head. Very good aroma and flavor of chocolate and roasted malt. The body is full and has a creamy texture, the carbonation is soft. Very good, this might be my favorite non-imperial stout.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 16, 2005 Pours like your typical Guinness like stout dark brown with a light brown head. Some chocolatey notes were detected on the nose. Tasted nutty with an average bitter peppery finish, but otherwise watery. Dickinsonbeer (3449), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 3, 2005 Pours almost pure black with a nice thick foamy head and good lace. Not overcarbed which is good. Lots of roasted coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Flavor is roast and chocolate malts, lot sof coffee, nutty, and a bit hoppy in the end. Very very smooth. Hard to believe it is only 5%. 3daddict (139), Portland, Maine, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 29, 2005 Pours a dark with a copious amount of head. Sweet toasted malt aroma with a touch of fruity hop. Mostly dry in flavor with good carbonation and only lightly bitter. Nutty coffee aftertaste. Excellent beer from a small brewery in Bar Harbor, Me Rastacouere (5553), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2005 Updated: Dec 11, 2005Deep dark brown, nice light brown head. Campfire nose, pleasantly dry yet with vanilla flavors. Brown sugar sweetness contrasts nicely with bushes like hops. It tries to be dry in mouth,but this brown sugar presence can’t be stopped. It feels slightly oaty, floury and cerealic. Farily rich stout in terms of ingredients I assume, but not particularly complex and somewhat overrated perhaps. Medium bodied, slightly powdery texture, rich for 5%. Good. Amendment: An extremely carbonated example with pleasant floury and somewhat dry oatmeal-like flavours, Most pleasant roastiness that never hints at tartness and a flawless apperance boasting a gigantic head.
