| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 29, 2008 500ml can. Black with almost no head after a few seconds. Rich, malty aroma, with chocolate and coffee. Smooth, light body, with a smooth, balanced flavor. Roasted malts, a hint of coffee and chocolate. Well balanced and creamy. Nice taste, bad looking and a bit too thin, but basically a well-balanced, flavorful, easy-drinking stout. Beer Snob (382), Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 21, 2008 Pitch black with a small head. Slightly sour fragrance but very tasty with malt and coffee coming through.
Easy drinking and no lingering bitterness. Very nice. sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2008 473mL can purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Initially pours black with a fizzy head and bubbles on the side. Looks like Coke. The head and bubbles fade quickly, leacing a rather flat looking beverage. Nice coffee aroma. Flavour is decent. Starts off with some coffee notes with the malts, though the flavour drops off somewhat midway. The aftertaste is left a bit thin. This beer (on tap) won a blind stout and porter tasting at C’est What a few months ago - which was a bit of a surprise.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 7, 2008 473mL can. As the bottle says, it pours like liquid midnight - completely black with a moderate head (but not creamy). Aroma is a chocolate maltiness and a bit smoky. Flavour is roasted coffee, but mouthfeel is too thin. Finish is a bit short. Good, but not incredible. chops (60), Brantford, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2008 473ml can from the LCBO. Overall a good tasting stout. Im glad to see Orangeville, ON can produce some good beer. Eructoblaster (1480), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 3, 2008 Can 473ml. Pours a black opaque body with average carbonation and a thin brown bubbly/frothy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with roasty and dark chocolate hints. Taste is well balanced, but it lacks the robustness I was expecting. Ends with a short bitter/roasty finish. Ordinary. gilvanblight (390), Windsor, Ontario, Canada
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Okay not sure if I have the right beer here. I had a 1 Liter Limited edition Hockley Stout, number 291107... which rates quite a bit higher then this. Here’s my rate for what I think was this beer:
Very dark pour with not too much head. Stong coco and coffee scent. Nice rich flavour of malts caramel and spice. A very pleasing roasted finish. One of the best, if not the best Stout I have ever had.
Told you it may not be this beer. If anyone knows where I have gone wrong please send me a message. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 18, 2008 The aroma is dusty, detergenty and has dark fruit and mild chocolate notes. Not a great start. The body is black and it holds a thin tan head. Chocolate, light roasted malt notes, dark fruits, some coffee, but it is mostly sweet and as it warms it intensifies and becomes a fairly enjoyable beer to drink. Not bad.
