BlackOut (43), East End, England Dec 8, 2007 This one’s a bit too bitter for my taste, bought it just to try. For those who like bitter stouts its not bad beer at all, its rich in flavour, hints of coffee and chocolate but I hopefully wont be having it again. sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours a very dark black / brown. Nice looking, thick beige head. Aroma is slight roast coffee, maybe a touch of chocolate. Flavor is burnt coffee, touch of chocolate. Bitter to a point that I didn’t want to finish the bottle, ended up dumping the last 40% of the bottle. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Nov 28, 2007 12 oz. Black with a medium head that lasts. Chocolate oatmeal cookie aroma. Flavor of cocoa, slight charred wood, and metallic herbs. Palate is light-medium and watery with a dryish finish. LtJudge (431), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Nov 23, 2007 Pours a dark brown color with a thick tan head. Aromas of roasted malts,coffee and a hint of vanilla and chocolate. Taste matches the aroma. Nice bitter ending. Body is a little thin though. Average. tennisjoel (931), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA Nov 21, 2007 Dark brown pour with little to no head. Roasty malts, chocolate, oatmeal. Very typical of the style. No discernable flaws. An average middle of the road stout. OK. AOF (282), Naperville, Illinois, USA Nov 20, 2007 Deep brown, bordering on black. Thin beige head. Very typical stout aroma. Roasted malts, coffee, semi-sweet chocolate. Medium bodied with a sticky/creamy texture. Pretty good, but nothing spectacular. maltdog (509), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Nov 19, 2007 Deep reddish pour; opaquely black in the glass. No lace remains after the airy head quickly fades. Simple scents of Dutch processed cocoa powder, jammy briarfruit, and subtle diacetyl. Similar in flavor… super fruity and redolent with dark berries and green apple… bittersweet chocolate and a buttermilk tang. Thinnish, creamy mouthfeel, almost milky. Chalky and malic aftertaste. Just okay, nothing more. I’m unimpressed. Prostman (1077), Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2007 This was a nice beer...almost porter like. I could drink this beer on a cooler night.
