| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2005 Oily black pour, thin creamy dark tan head. Nice aromas here of Starbucks coffee (Italian roast), bittersweet chocolate, mochachino, and toffee brittle, with light tones of smoke. Bittersweet chocolate citric tones and burnt coffee are prevalent as it warms, with light berry notes following through in the end. Lighter side of medium bodied and slick, light carbonation, bitter chocolate finish. Wish this was available in MD. Very nice...

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2007 Dark, with rich chocolate cream head. I had forgotten how stalwart this stout was. Deep, dark noted, slightly bitter chocolate aroma and flavor, with some alcohol notes contributing complexity. Strong roasted and chocolate component throughout the experience. Excellent beer for a rainy day or to enjoy with chocolate. bb (2976), Martinez, California, USA
