| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 20, 2007 Deep brown/Black in color with ruby highlights and a light tan colored head. Aroma/flavor is of roasted malts, slight chocolate with a touch of sweetness. badlizard (2339), Berkeley, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 16, 2007 350 mL bottle. Pours black with a fizzy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and fruit. Sweet dark malts come through in the taste, smooth palate, with a slightly bitter finish. Decent. RollinHard (756), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 12, 2007 Pours an attractive dark brown with a nice tan head (lasts longer in a narrow glass). Aroma of some sort of raspberry-ish tang, dirt, caramel, chocolate (not too dark), and milk/creamer. Dry roasty taste, with some milk chocolate and a tangy hop taste. Finishes very earthy, dirtlike with some black coffee there. Great mouthfeel (creamy, low-carbonation, not thin, but drinkable) and a good stout overall. Tangy-qualities are out of place though.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2007 Very dark in color, I had this one on nitro so it drank smoothly. Average head retention. On the palate it was thick and rich. I could taste roasted coffee and definitely chocolate notes. There is a prevalence of hops in the finish; a little bit of a bite, but taste didn’t linger in my mouth. raphael (412), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2007 aroma of nougat (like the center of a 3 musketeers, w/ caramel & cocoa. opaque darkest brown w/ thick mocha foam. thick & smooth in the mouth, tongue feeling the dark & slightly sour. flavors of roasted & smoked malts, marshmallow, citrus underneath. complex finish, including darkest chocolate. I can see its base in Guinness, but the NW revolution, with more hops, body & alcohol. iowaherkeye (1845), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2007 12oz bottle Best by 04/13/07. Pours black with a 1/2 finger tan head that dissipates to a ring and a thin film after a minute. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee, grain, oats, light anise, tobacco, and maybe a bit of soy. Flavor is somewhat bitter and roasty up front, with some salted nuts, grain, some molasses sweetness, and a little earth. Big roasty bitter finish---mmmm good! Medium smooth body with some moderate carbonation. Very good stout--I wouldn’t mind having this more often at all.
