| 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. Nuffield (2749), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2004 Dark with a loosely formed off-white head. Somewhat lactic aroma on a roasted base. Good basic flavor components of roasted qualities, chocolate, and some blueberries. Mild oily palate, not overly carbonated. Good decent all-around stout, though not exceptional in any dimension.
