| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 5, 2008 Bottle; batch 7648. Pours black with a creamy tan head that settles to a light layer & ring and left behind good lacing. Aromas of milk chocolate, coffee, and a slight roast. The flavor is much the same but with the roast standing out much more. Full body, smooth, and a coffee and roast aftertaste. Very nice Stout!! mcmd (134), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 5, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a half finger beige head. Smells are roasted malt, dark chocolate, toffee, caramel. Flavor is sweet roasted malt and hops up front with a burnt coffee and bitter dark chocolate finish. Seemed a little thin for a stout, almost the consistency of a porter. Great beer nonetheless. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Bottle aquired in trade from StFun. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Roasted malt flavor with a hint of coffee. Smooth and even on the palate. Just a tad thin or I would have thought it was an imperial stout. An overall great brew. timfoolery (484), California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 1, 2008 From STFun trade. This stout was excellent. For a straight stout, it exhibited more maltiness, balance, and consistent flavor than most (if not all) I’ve had. Nice sized head and lacing. The carmel and coffee flavors and smells were apparent. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA

Pretty malty, and caramel and coffee smells are present. Very smooth and creamy. Not too bubbly. Not sure if I like it as much as Java Stout, but I really like it. fonefan (11003), VestJylland, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2008 Thanks to msante79 for this one. One of the nicest stouts I have had. Has the deep roasted malt tastes, but not overpowering like some stouts that taste like an ash tray. Smooth and creamy feel. Roasted malt blended with deep chocolate and coffee. All well blended.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2008 Pours pitch black with a large tan head, that fades thin with some bubbly lacing. Aroma is very roasted - coffee, some ash, and a bit of coffee and chocolate. Taste is very smooth and creamy - some hoppiness up front, burnt toast and roasts, and leaves you with some smokiness and bits of chocolate. One of my favorite stouts.
