3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Hopcat RBSG. Pours a deep brown black with tan head. Nose is spicy with notes of caraway and anise as well as pumpernickel and chocolate. Light hop notes come through as well. I get a bit of cocoa though not much of a strong roast presence. On taste, more cocoa and rye breadiness with a slightly astringent finish due to the rye that is present. Interesting stout that is a nice addition to the line from Bells.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Probably just a flavor I don’t know to recognize, but little distinguished itself in this from a typical, good stout. Dark coffee, some chocolate, a little smoke and dusky spice. Pretty good.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours deep black with off white head. Aroma is roast, chocolate, coffee, with a touch of spice. Taste is smoky, chocolate, roasted, with some coffee that finishes with the rye spices. Wish there was more rye, but overall it is a solid brew.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft at a bells event. Nice dark brown almost black pour with a good but unfortunately fast fading khaki head. Not much lace. The aroma is very roasty. The flavor is as well with some nice vanilla notes, and the stout backbone is certainly very sufficient. Hint of hops in the flavor. Medium body with medium carbonation on the palate. Overall: this beer was simple but nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Cavie. Black pour with a nice tan head. Aroma is roasted, chocolate, a hint of pepper spice, and rye. Taste is a nice rye kick, chocolate, roasted malts, and creamy.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours an extremely dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of coffee, roasted malt and slight rye. Flavor of dark roasted malt up front with a slight sweetness that works well with the spiciness of the rye. Unique, but not as good as I’d hoped it would be.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUL 2, 2010 Bottle courtesy of Beerbill. Dark brown color that doesnt show light. Smells of roasted malts, sweet flavors and peat moss. Taste is interesting at the least. Sweetness with malts and peat moss for sure.
