4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark brew, compact head, slowly receding. Aroma of coffee and roast grains. The taste is fantastic, a good balance between the sweetness of a B52 coffee, tempered by an elegant acidity (yet again coffee) and a lingering bitter chocolate finish. Palate is a little thin but still one of my favorite stouts.

(625 ml bottle) Pours a very dark brown crowned with a very solid tan head. Aroma of burnt brown sugar, coffee, molasses, chocolate. Lacing is beautiful. Mouthfeel is rich, thick, smooth and wonderful. Taste is dark rich coffee, roasted maltiness and semi-sweet, semi-bitter chocolate. This is just an outstanding stout to look at and drink. (Thanks to checkout clerk at Downeast Beverage for pointing it out).

11.2 oz bottle. Black with a big brown head. Big, sweet, roasty malt nose, fruit and semisweet chocolate. Nice, silky body that produces a fine brown lace. Flavor is a tad sweeter than the nose implies, a mildly sweet chocolate with notes of fruit and a touch of charcoal. Bitter chocolatey finish that hangs in the mouth. Very, very nice beer!

Pitch black with a nice brown head. Malty aroma with some sweet candy like notes. Very wellbalanced flavor, plesant gourmet chocolate and roasted malts. Overall this stout is just really enjoyable without being spectacular.

Darn good stout...surprised by the "low" overall rating. I took this on MJ’s recommendation, boy was he right on!
4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Packed with crystal/chocolate malt flavour. Coffee, chocolate. raisen, are just some of the many flavours that come through and give a long finnish. They serve it in my local Sri Lankan curry house, its fantastic with their spicy food. At 8% its a bit of a killer because all you want to do is drink it!

Very nice. Chocolatey, coffeeish, a very good stout. Well balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet.

12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, North Carolina. Beer pours a nice dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malts with some cocoa and coffee notes. Taste is rocking, it matches up with the aroma and the finish is very clean. The alcohol is hidden very well in this beer. This was a pleasure to drink.
