| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 7, 2008 12 oz bottle, via trade. Pours a very dark brown body with a fizzy thinnish light brown head. The nose is roasty with a good bit of coffee and some chalky yeast. The flavor is very chalky with a slight lactic sugary finish. A little caramel and yeastiness. Mouthfeel is a little on the thinner side with nice soft fizzy carbonation. Overall, a passable Sweet Stout, but not something that I’d seek out again. beerbill (1946), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a large tan colored head that faded to a film by mid-glass and left partial lacing. Very pleasant aroma of coffee and, to a lesser extent, chocolate. Very promising beginning. The flavor is a bit of a disappointment. The coffee and chocolate that I enjoyed in the aroma are gone, and replaced with some lightly roasted malt and tobacco. Lightly sweet, but also some dryness that lingers for a bit after the swallow. This is a decent stout with some plusses and minuses. Tilley4 (218), Huron, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Good little brew here... Very dark and full of roasted malt flavor, this stout typifies what a milk stout should be... Good tasting but not too rich.. GG (1623), NorCal, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2008 So these guys from Keegan DO know how to brew!! Hot damn! After their awful showing with Hurricane Kitty, it left an awful taste in my mouth in more than one way. But this was a total 180. An aroma of consisting of mainly chocolate and coffee, but after having that Hurricane Kitty crap this stuff tasted like Darkness!! Appearance was black with a creamy off-white head. A smooth, mellow mouthfeel with just the right thickness. Flavor was roasted malts/coffee, a bit of chocolte and finishes with a nice bitterness. Good stuff. Borrrris (99), LINDENHURST, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 26, 2008 BOTTLE. Pours almost black with pleasant aroma of roast malts Full but not heavy bodied. The milk probably contributes to the well rounded creaminess, but is not obvious - I had kinda feared a Starbucks-like concoction, but thankfully not one. Nice overall BUY AGAIN?
