| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Fizzy brown, watery look. Some lace. Mild coffee aroma. Decent creamy body with smooth coffee throughout. Thin but not bad. Lothore (276), California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a very dark brown, letting a small amount of light through. A small 1.5 finger light brown head fades quickly to a little layer of foam.
S- Nose starts off with a caramely sweetness leading to coffee.
T- Taste is fairly light and coffee forward with a mettalic twang at the end.
M- A bit watery, coffee and a small amount of sweetness linger in the mouth but not in a bad way.
D- This is very drinkable but for the wrong reasons. It is a bit too bland. The mouthfeel lacks thickness to support the coffee flavor. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA

A little strong in flavor at first, but wears on you nicely.Bites on the palate. Medium body. Goes down well, especially after drinking a bit. Cletus (5061), Connecticut, USA
