Pours a black with a little brownish head. Nice aromas of malt/coffee and a hint of chocolate. A little bitter in the flavor of coffee/chocolate. MatSciGuy (630), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 18, 2008 [Bottle] Pours thick black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, dark chocolate, and some hops. Very rich and malty. Lots of chocolate and roasted barley. Slightly sweet. beerchugger (292), Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Now this is a man’s stout! Pours completely opaque black with a dark thick head. The roasted malts along with the hops comes out pretty nice in the flavor. There are also hints of chocolate and coffee. It’s fairly nice beer that is good for an after dinner drink.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Pours black with nice dense tan head. Slight chocolate malt aroma. Slightly roasty malt profile and a thin palate. Basically an underwhelming stout, more like a dark lager. Onslow (174), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2008 Pours black with a brown head. Faint aroma of toasted grain, chocolate, and coffee overtones. Flavor is sweet, mild, fairly simple. Maybe its the ABV level, but thoughts of malt liquor popped in my head as I sampled this - the same generic sweetness and ethanol flavor. Don’t get me wrong - I like malt liquor and I like this as well, but there are much better, more flavorful, stouts out there. brokephibroke (140), Mead, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 8, 2008 Black pour with reddish background Dark tan thich head. Aroma of coffee, cardamon, molassas and alcohol. Peaty up front, coffee mid and chocolate finish with a metalic undertone. Decent smoothness. I deduct for the metal but add huge for the extreme value. CanIHave4Beers (862), Des Moines, Iowa, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2008 This was particularly different. I liked the smooth silky texture and the nice look of the beer with the big tan head and the deep color. The flavor is somewhat strange and the first things that come to mind are molasses and corn flakes, but as the bottle comes along it does have nice chocolate notes, and some espresso. Alltogether this was a little sweet for me, but I will certinally buy it again. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA

Pours black with a big brown head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma but is a little more roasty. Sweet caramel covered in chocolate. Palate is creamy and dry. Tasty stuff.
