| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 16, 2003 Body is black and thin like a cola. Head is medium thick and white. Smells of cheese, cinnamon, hops and faint coffee…very interesting. Taste is roasted coffee, bitter-sweet chocolate. Thin feeling in mouth with average carbonation; goes down easily. Aftertaste is bitter and sour hops with hints of alcohol. Enjoyable stout with a great smell, respectable taste and pedigree from a great brewery. Definitely a noteworthy stout when considering what the state of Virginia has to offer. dberger624 (1028), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA
