| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 30, 2009 Not a hint of light escapes this brew. Pitch black with a tan head that leaves nice lacing. Chocolate, caramel, coffee, and licorice make up the fine aroma. Medium-full bodies with decent carbonation. The beer starts sweet with chocolate and caramel notes. Finishes with dark coffee/espresso bitterness. Absolutely delicious. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel

Black-colored with a big bubbly beige to light brown head that falls slowly. Aroma of roasted malt, some coffee, some smokiness and licorice. Sweet roasty flavor with coffee, some fruit hints, licorice notes and a bit of espresso. Finishes bitter. Medium to full-bodied. Very nice. tmoreau (555), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 26, 2009 12oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing. Poured into a Czech pils glass, black/brown and visually thick. It exhibited a frothy, dark tan head, with some dense, clingy lace. The nose was dry, with roasted notes, coffee, and a touch of sweetness as dark fruit and molasses. I found chocolate in the flavor with some coffee and caramel. I liked the mellow existence of the hop bitterness as it balanced nicely with the other flavors. Flavorful and very quaffable stout! brewski519 (403), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA

Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, coffee and licorice. Nice silky chocolate and coffee taste with a little licorice in the aftertaste. Solid mouthfeel - nice and creamy. A very drinkable stout.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2009 I did not find nearly as much aroma or flavor as the rest of the folks that reviewed this beer. Faint roasted aromas, decent chocolate flavor. Didn’t find the licorice or anything complex. Loved the mouthfeel, very silky.
