Poured a dark brown color with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts/barley, coffee, and some chocolate. Mouthfeel is somewhat smooth but a bit on the watery side. Taste is roasty, chocolate, coffee, vanilla. It is good overall, one of the better regular stouts I’ve had. Thanks guy! and go Cubs! jrob21 (1257), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2008 Bottle at the porter bar. Roasted malt aroma with a little cocoa. Has a really nice bittersweet chocolate flavor and cocoa again with a nice slightly sweet finish. Smooth, creamy and well balanced. Very drinkable and complex enough to keep you interested for a while. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 4, 2008 From a 12oz Bottle. Somewhat transparent, rusty black body with a thin layer of off-white head. Roasty aroma that’s highlighted by a whiff of fresh mint and light licorice. Prunes and medium roast coffee. Medium bodied, softly carbonated mouthfeel with a relatively dry finish. Flavors of cocoa and roast up front, along with some mild prune fruits. Moderately dry, with a bit of an ashy flavor lingering in the finish. Solid, but not exceptional. carl4beer (400), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

While the malts are smooth, the taste lingers a bit in your throat, nothing overpowering though
