| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2009 12 oz bottle from a very generous Douglas88. Pours a black color which reveals some ruby highlights when held up to a light. A vigorous pour will net a 1/2" brown head. No lace. Nose is roasted malt with a trace of chocolate. Nice full, heavy mouth feel. Flavor is dark bakers chocolate with some dark fruit flavor. Mildly bitter finish. Very nice! kiefdog (1586), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Great stout, readily available in the West. Not sure about the East Coast. One of my favorites from Deschutes. Dark mocha color. Great for a everday available beer. Amazing for croquet on a side note. Sonicdescent (376), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Nice to have a "regular" stout once in a while, and this one is above par for the course. Complex in taste, beautiful in appearance, slightly weak in the mouth, but very good overall. drjay44 (773), Salida, Colorado, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2009 Chocolate and toffee are very strong in the nose. The beer pours very black with a brown frothy head. Flavor is surprisingly sweet-hoppy, chocolate, some malts, a bit of coffee, and just a bit earthy on the periphery. A truly excellent stout. ndubs360 (114), portland, Oregon, USA
