2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Opaque dark brown/black appearance with small head, multi-sized bubbles that didn’t last and almost no lacing. Can’t smell much either other than some coffee. Taste is rather watery with prickly carbonation, some dark chocolate, coffee, malt and slight hop bitterness as an aftertaste. Something is there that’s REALLY tart it makes my mouth pucker, but I can’t figure out what it is. Very dry finish. Don’t think I’ll try this one again.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep, dark brown but translucent with a silky tan head. Big cold coffee aroma with little detectable malt underneath. Roasty, coffee flavor with a pleasant aftertaste but insufficient stout character comes through the coffee. Not bad, but I prefer more depth and balance in a coffee beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Black. Tan, quick-dissolving head. A wiff off coffee as I poured, nose also has roasted chocolate. Coffee flavor right up front, slight hop character in the finish-just enought to balance. Sweet and roasty malt and coffee. Pleasant aftertaste. Medium body. Good stuff.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours black with a thick light-brown head. Smoky aroma of coffee and scorched toast. Strong roasted malt and coffee flavors. Body was a bit thinner than I expected but overall a good stout.

Pours dark brown/black, with a small tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, and hops. Flavor is sour malt, coffee, and chocolate. Body is a little too thin. Thanks to Dough77 for this one.

a lot of coffee here, but today’s big stouts can throw this for the sink. not bad, though. a bit tart/acidic, and slightly watery--suprisingly. not that sweet, but good, anyway.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Couleur noire foncée, abrité d’une mousse brune aux grosses bulles savonneuses. Arômes de vieux café, de crème glacé à l’expresso et bien malheureusement de légumes bouillis. Flaveurs de malt beaucoup plus brûlé que torréfiées rappelant les pneus échaufés. Encore une fois, beaucoup de flaveurs de DMS, choux et mais bouilli, semblant complètement inapproprié, surtout pour le style. Mince, presque dépourvue de toute forme d’effervescence et surtout acidité en bouche. La texture mince en bouche rappelle davantage un style porter qu’un stout. Dommage!
