| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 9, 2008 Nice dark color, easy going head smells a bit sweet, and musty.
What a great chocolate / bettersweet chocolate and a lite to lite mild roasted coffee lingering finish.
I like this stout because it’s poundable.
Very clean and great lingering flavor that makes you want more. KornDogg (187), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 8, 2008 Bottle from my Bell’s variety pack... mmm... it had been a while since I first tried this one... deep and dark, brown foam... coffee & chocolate subtle aroma... taste of coffee, chocolate and a little sweet, maybe the molasses... I hate licorice, but this was perfect.. Don’t let the licorice description deter you from trying... Dedoulequeen07 (136), london, Greater London, England

Aroma: Rich and roasted ground coffee beans, bitter dark chocolate, slight charred carbon and alcohol. Flavour: good mothfeel that sticks to the back of your throat lingeing dark bitter choclate and coffee with some toffee and liquoirce to finish. Would prefer a little more body and creaminess but would drink again. Magicdave6 (5429), London, Greater London, England

Alround rating: Roasty, thin, not really much going on, pritty boring stuff and not really my style.

Pours impressively black with a small, creamy, staying, brown head. Sweet aroma, lots of chocolate and coffee. Low carbonation, wonderful, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is impeccably elegant. Sweet, light dryness, coffee, cocoa. Stunningly balanced and only 6 %. Great. lightning9191 (82), Christiansburg, Virginia, USA

The flavor is largely coffee, with some background chocolate notes. It has a heavy body with low-medium carbonation. This a delicious stout! It is like espresso beer. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway
