| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Mar 16, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Black with a positively gigantic, dense, creamy head that you could float away on. Big buttery nose. Wow, you really can’t smell anything else but diacetyl. Rich, grainy, creamy body. Butter bomb all the way. Pretty much wrecked, and that’s too bad, because the appearance and what you can get of the recipe show lots of potential. Nice spicy hop finish. goldtwins (4080), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 4, 2007 The beer poured an almost opaque black with ruby highlights and a small creamy tan head. The aroma was tart with roasted coffee notes. The flavor was roasty but tart and very dry on the bitter finish. kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

It is thin bodied with a thick mouith like a stout should. smokey, chocolate sits very pleasantly. Smells like a porter... high octane jackstraw111 (10), Port Angeles, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 17, 2006 On tap at brewery. Was a dark, dark pour. Nice head - very creamy. Faint hints of chocolate and coffee, but not overwhelming. A very nice mouthfeel - full, but not heavy. A little on the sweet side - could use a bit more bitterness. Overall, a very likable brew. jsquire (2107), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 4, 2006 I found this in the bottom of a box among the packing materials when I went to re-use the box. Ooops. Solid dark beer with a thin whisp of brown foam that diminished to an attractive ring. Great nose of dark sweet chocolate and coffee. Roast grain, dark chocolate, coffee bean, vanilla, licorice, ash, with a long bitter finish trending toward burnt coffee. Very enjoyable stout.
