Two fingers of level tan head. Nose is pretty much straight up coffee and dark and milk chocolate. Mouthfeel is great, smooth, almost silky, lightly oily. Flavor is classic sweet stout - coffee roast and chocolate. Hints of grassiness in finish. Quite good. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Had this beer on 2/26/1999. Color is black, carbonation and head are very low. Aroma is a deeply rich roasted malt scent. Taste is a dark roasted malt flavor with lightly burnt tones. It starts with a rich body that goes down with a slight sharp feel and a black coffee taste. The finish is a rich dark roasted malt flavor with an even bitterness but no noticeable hop flavor. This is one of my favorite Stouts. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
