| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 17, 2008 12 oz botte - pours an almost blackish, coffee color with a dark tan head that stuck around for much of the beer. Smelled of chocolate, coffee and malt - sweet taste to this beer that indicated chocolate but the coffee flavoring reigned it in a bit. Decent Stout with a nice roasted coffee, if not flat, finish.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 5, 2008 33cl bottle, 7.5% abv. Pitch black colour with a thick and dense brown foamy head. Moderately sweet roasted malty aroma with notes of dark chocolate, coffee and a tinge of alcohol, accompanied by very subtle hints of blackcurrant. Bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth, almost creamy carbonation. Solid roasty malty base with burnt bitterness, notes of coffee, chocolate and licorice. Dry and lasting bitter finish with a subtle fruity and roasty aftertaste. The alcohol is well-hidden. Not as exciting as initially expected, but surely a quaffable Stout [02.XII.08].

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Bottle, Courtesy of Slothez. Had forgotten about this which is quite widely available and far superior to bog standard Guinness.
Black pour with a fair light brown head. Soft roasted malts mix with chocolate and light coffee notes. Smooth and creamy with a well rounded body and some bitterness in the finish. Not as good as the Belgian version but still pretty tasty. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 21, 2008 This was refreshing after a previous sub par stout I had. A complex blackcurrant and liquorice aroma blends with those lovely burnt roast aromas. follows through into an oily mouth feel thats full of flavour and enough hops to round it out. cracking stuff. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2008 Pours black with a small creamy light tan head. Smells a little fruity, with a good amount of roast and dark malt, and a distinct toffee aroma as well. The mouthfeel wasnt as thick as I thought it would be. The burnt malt and roast flavors were abundant with hints of dark chocolate coming through at the end. A touch of some hops comes through but not in abundance. Just decent, maybe could have used a bit more body.
