2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Dark brown, shortto average and fully diminishing light brown head. Moderate malty - lightly oaty and l sweetish aroma, light caramel, some roasted malt and coffee. Body is medium, malty - lightly oaty and sweetish, some caramel, light roasted malt and some coffee. Finish is average, malty - lightly oaty and sweetish, light roasted malt and some coffee. Not really a "dry stout" - too sweet/too much caramel.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle. Pour a clear dark brown body, almost black, with a fizzy one finger light brown head that faded to a wispy covering. The nose is black malt with burnt coffee, some slight burnt rubber, a little molasses like sweetness, and some minimal chocolate. The flavor is a little sweet for a dry stout, a little thin, and there’s a slightly off note on the finish that’s a bit like rubber. Medium bodied, a little clingy from the residual sweetness, with light soft carbonation. Not the worst beer, but nothing that I’d buy another one of.

1.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
bottle... black with a light tan head, average looking... the nose is really light, can’t get much but a little chocolate... taste is dead at first, basically drinking a glass of off colored water, the more you drink though the more a frightening chemical note creeps in that makes you think you’re drinking infected water, gross and really weird

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
9/2/11. 12oz bottle thanks to daknole! Black pour with basically no head at all. Very light aroma of malt, a touch of sour, seltzer, and cocoa. Very light flavor of cocoa powder, grandpa coffee, sour seltzer, and not much else. Very light and very overcarbonated.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured into a pint glass. Color is black with a tan head. Aroma is mild with a very faint hint of roasted malt. Flavor is mild as well with a hint of dark fruit. Palate is thin and watery. Overall a very watered down version of a stout. Quality control is also questionable because out of two beers from a six pack we found one was a twist off bottle and one was a normal bottle...
