| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 30, 2009 12 oz. bottle poured in a tumbler. Pours a black color with a reddish-hue, kind of like coke with a small, frothy light-brown head. Aroma is mainly all malts, roasted, nutty, chocolate, and some coffee. Flavor is nearly the same. Nice creamy mouthfeel, and a bit lively with a slight bitter finish. Good beer.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 3, 2010 The pour is black, with a big brown head. The head is frothy from the small bubbles building. The aroma is roasted earthy malts. This is a full bodied, beer with nominal carbonation, big points with me. The taste sharp roasted malts, with coffee overtones, the finish is slow but not sloppy. This is a very good stout! Tanker12 (136), USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Very tasty. Kinda sweet. Good malty flavour, with just the right level of roastiness. Good thick body. Smells great.
Would go down nicely with some roast pork, potatoes and gravy.
Overall very good. Not quite as good as Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal stout, which is still the gold standard for stouts. Brian2d (13), Spain
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Coffee aroma. Weak head, thick opaque appearance. Taste of coffee and cream. Palate also a bit weak for this type of beer. Not much finish, but overall taste is rich and complex. Maria (6345), Thisted, Denmark
