3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
[Can] Pours a jet black color with a quickly receding brown head. Rich aroma of dark malts, mild hops and light amounts of alcohol. The taste is of cocoa, molasses, faint vanilla, anise, dry roasted malts and noiceable alcohol. Very nice mouthfeel and creamy, lactic finish. Dry malts linger on the tongue. A very nice beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pour is a dark brown with a couple fingers of tan head. Looked a little bit thin going into the glass, and my thoughts on the bottle were "dang, that’s some heavy glass." Aromas are burnt malt, leather, and baby food plums. Flavor is smooth and fairly roasty, while mouthfeel is silky and smooth.

Bottle - pitch black, a medium tan head. Nice pepper,chocolate aroma with a whisp of smoke in there too. The taste is that of malt-chocolate & smoke, definite sour and malt aftertaste with a long smokey finish, very enjoyable and only $1.80 a bottle!!!!!

12 oz bottle. Black pour with a medium light brown head. Aroma is chocolate, dark fruit, caramel, light chalky notes. Taste is chocolate, dark fruit, light smoke, lightly astringent, with a smooth finish. Medium bodied, and the carbonation was medium.
4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Rich, complex flavors: chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, mocha, caramel... Ans a superbly creamy texture. Everyone I’ve ever served this to becomes a convert.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
625ml bottle. Pours black with a thick, two fingerwidth, creamy, mocha colored head. Dissipates extremely slow and remains very lacy. Aroma of lightly roasted chocolate malts, some mocha coffee, a dash of sweet dried fruits, and a hint of hoppiness. Very creamy palate with a dry and light bitter finish/linger. Flavor is first roasty and mocha, then moves to a light sweet fruit/plum/raisin, then finishes milky and chocolatey with a licorice kick. Overall, a surprisingly good stout! Very creamy, milky, and balanced. Glad I saw it burried on the shelf at only $3.
