3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dont know if there is any actual lactose in here,but it smells like it. Has an Ovaltine like texture,a little roastedness a little chocolate,has a light choclate and roasted grain taste,your taste buds are alerted to the presence of these flavors,but the big finishing wash of chocolate flavor doesnt come,nor is there any of the creaminess that many of the best have. Little bit of choclate bitterness in end. Nice easy drinking stout,would prefer a little harder hit on choclate sweetness and creaminess

Heavy black. Aroma is gentle roast, cream, tart fruit esters. Flavor is roasted malt fading to light sweetness and finishes somewhat acidic/lactic. Residual acidic roast and mild sweetness. Average mouthfeel for a sweet stout.

Bottle. Smells very sweet. Aroma is not appealing. Tastes like vinegar. Not a pleasant beer. Would not buy again.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear dark brown with brown lowlights and a slowly fading creamy tan topper. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, peat, lactose and bit of soapiness. Taste is somewhat acidic with coffee, lactose, light chocolate and dark roasted malt. Smooth bodied and hides the alcohol nicely.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Large tan head with good retention and some spotty lace. Almost black in color ceptin for some ruby edging. Gentle nose of chocolate and light roast. Body is light, a bit overcarbonated with a mild tang. Light chocolate notes, malt balls, vanilla and coconut with a slight roasty finish. Better than expected. Bottle from motortoddhead. Thanks bro!!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled on draught at the 2010 Great Northern Beer Festival in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Pours an opaque dark brown colored brew with an average sized beige head that quickly dissipates to a cream top and some spotty lacing. Aroma is quite light, some roasted dark malt, a hint of chocolate and some lactose. Taste is medium bodied, some metallic texture with flavors of roasted dark malt, lactose and some chocolate malt. Finish is semi-sweet, some mineral profile and a quick disappearing vanilla/lactose aftertaste.
