EBF2008,

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is a nice, full-bodied stout. Many flavors hit the palate: cherries, grapes, chocolate, and a malty caramel.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Black with a fluffy disappearing tan head. Strong roasted aroma, sweet coffee, bitter cocoa, a bit ethilic that disappear quickly. Medium bodied, flavourful, starting with a firm roast maltiness to a bitter dry lingering end. A very good stout.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle bought at GBBF and consumed at a hotel room in Earls Court. Opaque, and dark as the night. Huge, brownish bubbling head with satisfying duration, leaving nice laceworks on the glass. Woody, dark malts in aroma. Complex flavoured with initial spicy, roasted malt followed by sweet prunes and finishing with a dry bitter touch. Maybe a bit overpowering in the mouth (08.08.2008)
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
12 oz bottle pours a dark black with a head that is tan. It has a sweet taste wth a hint of liquorice. what a great stout!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle.
Dark oily black, thick tan head, minimal lacing.
Sweet malty aroma with molassas, liquorice, and chocolate. Light prune note as well.
Flavors are sweet molasses, roasty malts, prune and light chocolate.
Finish is ever so slightly dry. Just enough to balance it out and keep it from becoming cloying.
Alcohol is barely noticeable. At time it gets a little hot, but overall it is hidden well.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very deep brown pour with a thick ecru head and good lacing. Nose is of mocha and roasted malt. Taste is nicely malty - not overbearing - and tempered by the hops. There is a touch of molasses that rounds out the flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth an opulent, and the finish is mellow yet tangy.
