3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle pours almost black, dark red hues permeate the glass, medium frothy light tannish head, with average lacing. Aroma was of light coffee bean, perhaps a slight whiff of semi-sweet chocolate (seemed dry or chalky). Flavor was forwardly burnt malts, light chocolate/mocha flavor but it wasn’t as heavy as I would have liked. Finishes with a slight hop bite. Body and mouthfeel are a little less them medium. Not bad... Thanks goes out to ross8425 for the trade!

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy dark brown body with a nice thick dark tan head. Aroma full of coffee and chocolate with roasted malt of course being strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Slightly sour milk flavours with the bitter chocolate/coffee tastes present. Aftertaste has some roasted qualities as well as some sugars. Overall, a great beer to try and another winner from Highland! I got this twelve ounce bottle from Phil (haddon90) in Knoxville, Tennessee...thanks again Phil!
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Atlanta Gathering: Deep brown with reddish hue that produces a fading tan head but very good lacing. Aroma hints of coffee, mocha, roasted malt, citrus and floral hops tones, and dusty yeast esters. The taste is sweet and mocha influenced. Bitter and slightly lactic undertones midsection. Coffe and smoky finish. Work well and not overpowering. This medium-bodied brew has a creamy and soft mouthfeel. Solid sweet style stout, worthy of a drink or two.

A good stout. Nice dark color with a great long lasting creamy head. Sugar, chocolate, coffee, and vanilla in the aroma. Nice smooth taste. Not too thick but certainly not too thin, I think it was just right. Malty, roasted, with touches of coffee. A good stout indeed! On tap at Barley's in Knoxville, TN.
