| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 30, 2007 Beer poured a dark crimson black body and a tall tan head. The aroma is indeed dry, chalky and roasty. Flavor hints of cold coffee, some coco, a note of almond, and allusion of smoke. The palate is a medium thickness, creamy with a lingering dry coffee like finish. An enjoyable beer… well done! fishingnet (1045), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2007 Bottle. Pours almost black with ruby highlights and a small light tan head that fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is cold coffee with notes of smoked and roasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Thin mouthfeel with a mild bitterness and light carbonation. I like old cold coffee so I enjoyed this beer quite a bit. HopheadHans (755), Bay Area, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 21, 2007 Bottle.Pours with a black color and not much of a head. Bodys too thin for a dry stout. Aromas of roasted malts. Flvors of coffee and a bit of hoppy bitterness. Not too impressed by this one. Quake1028 (633), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 15, 2007 Bottle shared with Degarth. Thanks, bro. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a medium tan head. Looks like espresso. Aroma is cold coffe, burnt roast, malts, cocoa. Heavily astringent on the tongue, medium carbonation. Taste is flat coffee, charred roast and malt. Tastes a lot like Guinness, but this beer is not nitrogen, so it’s not nearly as filling. crazyvin (1251), New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2007 Poured an opaque block hue with a very thin tan head. Aroma was sweet with molasass but some roasted notes were present. Flavor was dry with a subtle almost charcoal characteristics. Some what light, but overall very smooth. fakepurseninja (777), Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Heavy biscuit malt essence with other roasted malt flavors of nut and oats. Very dry and pretty thin, little head and dark as night. keepersj12 (791), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 29, 2007 Very smoky flavor with a hint of sweetness. Nice head. A sweet fruity aroma that was not evident in the taste. Dry finish. Not bad but not a standout. natejgood (189), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2007 This beer a lot darker than I was expecting. It is close to black with a dark head that vanishes quickly. The beer smells malty and maby a little skunky, but it doesn’t have a very strong aroma. The flavor is also relatively mild. It is a sweet beer with coffee and chocolate undertones. It has a medium body with small bubbles. This is a pretty easy drinking stout, but I would have liked a little more flavor.
