| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 2, 2008 pours brown with a tan head which takes time to lace away. leaves some residue on the bottom. alcohol and fruit in the nose. an assault of smokey stuff, chocolate, coffee that start the eyes a-watering. thick and full-bodied. not enjoyable or refreshing, but an interesting experience. lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Pours black with tan head. Nutty aroma with heavy yeast notes, chocolate, lactose, and some coffee. Lots of candied sugar in the flavor makes this an extremely sweet stout. Licorice, dark chocolate, dark fruits, vinous notes, and coffee also apparent. Flavor is also sour, which makes this stout extremely unique, though not altogether a great stout. On second thought, the sweet/sour and chocolate combination is actually pretty well pulled off. Extremely interesting, albeit confusing. Bontus (310), Waasmunster, Belgium
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Zhytos beerfest. On tap.
Extremely dark and dense appearance.
Darkish head is everlasting.
Had a hard time drinking it because of it’s aroma’s. Mainly coffee, chocolate and yeast.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 27, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a very large dark tan head. Interesting, sweet dark chocolate with the Belgian yeast. A lot of carbonation hits the tounge. Surprisingly easy to drink. Interesting, but not what I really look for in a stout. lassem (332), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2008 A typical De Dolle beer...!
Great mslty sourness with a yeatsy background. The nose is is sour dough with mislty sweetnes. Flavor is also dolle with crispy complex malt, plum and port. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Bottle. Dark black pour, thick dark tan head. Sweet lactose aroma with some mild earthy funkiness in the background. Smooth, moderate carbonation. Taste has a nice blend of choco-lactose and a funk that has just the suggestion of tartness. Neither the funk nor the lactose notes get too intense. A good balance of the De Dolle trademarks and stout character. Subtle and tasty. GriffinAvenue (396), Winchester, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Bottle. Brown-black coloring. rich 1" tannish head with quick carbonated dissipation. Grapes, sugary, molasses, toffee elements. Similar in taste though tart and with coffee-ground finish. OK. minch25 (370), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2008 A hodgepodge of unidentifiable musky aromas that never comes together. Ginormous billowing head that looks awesome, but really makes it hard to drink. Dry, ashy MF. Roasty, bready flavors mostly, hazelnut, oily espresso beans definitely, dried licorice. Overall, good, but I could have done with the CO2 toned down.
