| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 24, 2006 Dark black in color with low head that disappears quick. low bubbles and some hard lacingA nice a complex mixture of dark chocolate, dark fruits, caramel and nicely roasted coffee. Palate is nicely bittered and full flavored with fantastic texture. The flavors are heavy on the chocolate side, with some really intense roast flavours coming on through. Really nice bitter chocolate aftertaste.Good strong stout from a damn good producer.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 31, 2006 For the life of me I can’t wrap around what makes a dry stout different from a regular stout different from a labbelled-sweet-but-not-actually-all-that-sweet-st So, you know, this was a really tasty stout. Lots of chocolate and cocoa both combined with a mellow roasted acidity and a tinge of astringent walnuts. Some small amounts of dark fruit, but not enough to detract, and a creamy, full mouthfeel. Excellent! IslandHaole (1035), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 28, 2006 Used motor oil with a creamy light brown head, leaves nice lacing on the glass. Smells like Jamocha ice cream as Baskin Robbins... Baking cocoa, berries, strong coffee...nice. Sweet, slightly roasty with a cotton candy sweet middle fading to a strong roasted malt finish, dry, mineral salt aftertaste. IMO feels a bit thin for a stout but still quite good.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 26, 2006 Updated: Jun 7, 2007Pours midnight brown w/ a medium sized, semi cremy spattered froth. Head retention is average receding to a bubbly ring. It’s a little sticky. Aroma of perfectly malted bitter cocoa. Medium full nectar w/ creamy residual effers. Flavors of bitter chocolate are forward developing into a mild roast component. It’s a very flavorful, smooth, and mellow stout. The finish is bittered perfectly w/ a mild hop factor while the malts seem to linger a bit. Great balance. Highly recommended. paulmetzger (152), Pocatello, Idaho, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 14, 2006 Pours deep, almost black, brown with vigorous carbonation leaving a robust head. Mild burnt aroma. Strong coffee flavor with slight flowerly undertones. Mouthfeel is primarly carbonation, which imparts a slight bitterness. OKBeer (1159), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 7, 2006 Bottle. Black body, small chocolate head. Fruity aroma, mild roast notes. Flavour is muted with mild roast that lingers with a strong bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. Thin palate. Disappointingly ordinary. Maxamillion (103), Glendora, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jan 6, 2006 Aroma of roast, coffee, and a little dark chocolate. Rich roast flavor with expresso. Just seems to lack some more thickness just barely. But overall i do like and will have it again
