3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 deaconmike (62) - Roswell, USA - MAY 23, 2013
Poured from a bottle. Deep walnut,with tan head. Yikes - aroma is not good - I see where others have commented that the aroma is excellent - maybe a got a bad batch, but basically reminded me of dirty diapers. Taste was a different story though filled with roast, coffee, and chocolate. Appropriately carbonated and had a moderate mouthfeel. Just couldn’t get over the aroma.

Pours unclear dark coffee in color with a decent creamy gray cocoa head. The aroma is my favorite part - sweet and creamy, a bit of warm coffee with a lot of caramel swirled in perhaps, and a bit nutty. The flavor definitely brings more of a hop bitterness than expected with a lighter body, not very creamy, and some subtle creamy coffee malt flavors settle on the tongue.

A very nice stout. Pours a thick black with a tan head. Smells great, like chocolate covered bananas and cream. Taste is good as well, though has a slightly weird aftertaste. Had in the bottle.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 crazyvin (1693) - New York, USA - MAY 17, 2013
A mostly black body with some red highlights. A nice beige head that had nice retention and decent lace. Aroma had a heavy roasted coffee note with some mild sweetness to balance it out. Flavor seemed to have a little more going on. There was some nice bold coffee flavors. A slight hint of chocolate and smoke added to the roasted quality. Some mild citrus hops in the after taste. A very dry finish and nice mouth feel.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 574deadzone (538) - North Central, Indiana, USA - MAY 15, 2013
Pours dark brown to black with a fairly buoyant toffee-colored head that settles to a ring and leaves some spotty lace. Nose involves plenty of roasted malt, licorice notes, some faint bakers chocolate, a little toast, and touches of herbal hops. Balanced flavor between bitter and sweet, moderate amounts of both. Softer, creamy palate, not too heavy, a touch sticky, with a pleasant toasty drying bitter finish. A nice brew, comes across as a stout for all seasons, as it isn’t too imposing body-wise, producing a nice drinkability. Enjoyable.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 oneeighthcuban (95) - - APR 15, 2013
Smells chocolately with a faint hint of coffee. Very roasted type smells. Almost no head. Very carbonated mouthfeel. A little less carbonation might make this better. Taste is roasty malts and a little bit of sweetness, maybe from the oatmeal?

Pours black with brown shades in the few spots where light gets through.
Tan head that stays around the edge for a good while.
Aroma is dark yeasty malt, dark-roasted coffee, dark bitter chocolate, and a hint of anise. Flavor is sweet coffee and cream up front and chocolatety bitterness back.
Thick, creamy mouthfeel, lively carbonation.
Very nice brew!
