| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Strong coffee and wood aroma. Dark black color with moderate head. Creamy espresso and malt flavors with a slight bitter finish. Medium palate. A nice easy drinking sweet stout. Beerlando (2312), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 2, 2007 Rated 8/2/07. Black body with a tan rim around the edges of the surface. Virtually no lacing noted. Smells like a nice mocha milkshake, but the flavor just doesn’t live up to the promising aroma. The taste is basically just strong coffee over a faint, malty chocolate background. It does mellow out and improve a bit as it warms, but its still nothing special. Somewhat watery body for a stout, with a bittersweet coffee finish. Not bad, just incredibly simple and uninspired. Average at best. rocbyter (912), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 1, 2007 Chocolate and alcohol aroma. Very dark amber color with some brown foam. Sweet and tangy malt flavor. No coffee flavor that I can detect, but I did just have some espresso stout home brew. unclemattie (2401), Georgia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 30, 2007 12oz bottle from a 8pk sampler. Dark brown/black. no head. aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and alcohol. Flavor of green, unripened coffee beans. hop flavors in the finish. not overall impressed. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 30, 2007 Dark brown or perhaps a light black with a thin bit of a tan head. Disappearing quickly. Roasty light old cofee, a bit sweet, a little bit low key. Flat, a bit fizzy feeling, better than too much carbonation, but okay. A bit sweet with pruney acidic malt flavors. Diacetyl runs a bit high here. A bit creamy, roasty and fruity, kind of netraul, with a lingering pruny sharpness. mistersinalin (368), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 22, 2007 I like coffee and I like stout. I thought I would like this better, but it is a fair stout with the aftertase of coffee. I wonder if it has any caffiene? stison42 (318), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 22, 2007 Black with no head. Very little aroma. Soday. Tastes dark and black. Slight coffeeness. Thin. Drying lingers. Had a grapey aftertaste. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Pours a black color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and molasses. Aroma seems lighter then I expected. Not really very thick on the palate with the roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee up front. FInishes with the sweeter flavors of the molasses. Not really any kind of lingering flavor and is a little watery.
