| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Very dark body - viscous with a very thin head. Aroma of roasted malts, cocoa beans, and a hint of smoke. Flavor was deep and warming - strong maltiness, lots of roasted character with a touch of coffee, smoke & bitterness at the end. Fairly smooth with a bit of alcohol sting. MaxxDaddy (263), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2007 12 oz. bottle courtesy of ebbies7 (thanks!). Black with small bit of tan head. Definitely let this one warm up, as the aroma was pretty muted at first. Smelled of roasted malts and coffee predominantly. Taste was more of the same, but with more chocolate flavor and alcohol. Finish is relatively bitter. Palate wasn’t terribly thick though. Pretty good impy, but a little too boozy in the taste. I’ll have to try it again some time. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

Rich flavor full of coffee and chocolate notes with maybe some fruitiness. Nice hoppy notes in the aroma and flavor to balance the malt. lumberjack (178), Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 23, 2007 Malt, alcohol, and a hint of coffee on the nose. Malt and hops are very well balanced on the taste buds, and some roasted coffee flavor comes through also. Palate is somewhat creamy, somewhat syrupy. Really good stuff. masonjer (563), Holt, Michigan, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 20, 2007 Updated: Mar 6, 2009Nice brew here. I have had this a few times now, and I keep coming back to it. Nothing too crazy here, great roasty coffee flavor, some chocolate, nice and creamy, with a great hop backbone. Very well balanced and drinkable.
