Beautiful notes of coffee and chocolate. Some smoked notes as well like soft bacon. Meat remains on the flavor. Interesting taste. Finish retains a smoky feeling. Some amounts of bitter coffee. A good stout that aged for several years before we enjoyed it. AndreasJaeger (101), Helsingborg, Sweden

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2009 Syrupy black pour—great head with lacing. Nose is coffee and a little fruit with ever-so-slight hops. Chewy mouthfeel. Taste is strong coffee with consistent smooth malts. Caramel finish with some hops. Very complex, powerful brew. Awesome, but I prefer Expedition. bigbobdog (36), USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Lovely fat aroma for a 6% brew, loads of "brown" smells of molasses, chocolate, light caramell, smooth roasted flavours and some coffe. Very big for the ABV, very drinkable and perfectly balanced but the aroma is a just a bit fater and more inviting then the taste actually delivers. hike20 (33), Iowa, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Pours nearly black with a thin beige head and nice lacing. Coffee aroma and a little roasted malt. The flavor is complex with some coffee, malt, chocolate and a mildly smoky finish. Medium-heavy mouth feel is satisfying. Not too sweet nor bitter, good balance. Overall quite good and will probably be a regular for me.
