| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2008 Thick, impenetrable, inky black, slim cocoa-toned head...
bittersweet nose, tons of coffee tones, little sweetness, earthy, roasty....
Tasting it...mmm, there it all is, in the nutshell, rich, roasty, coffee and chocolate. Smooth, and full of flavor. Great texture, lots of play on the palate.
My notes on this were minimal, but my pleasure in the drinking was not. Very nice coffee stout. I’ll return to this one again! GRM (1251), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada
