4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Drank it out of the bottle. Very sweet and mellow with notes of chocolate and coffee. Pleasant, smooth finish with a sweet aftertaste. My favorite stout by far.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A very attractive pour like chocolate syrup with a tan head that stuck around smells like coffee its not very thick and does not have much bite but its sweet and has a coffee/chocolatey taste wasn’t blown away but its a solid brew
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
looks like liquid chocolate, smells like a sweet and more powerful guiness... extremely prickly hoppish but really sweet feeling
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a very dark brown with a tan head. Has the aroma of caramel and a little coffee and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, little chocolate and coffee. Didn’t expect it to be as tasty as it was with the low ABV. Pretty darn good all around.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 ounce bottle- poured out an opaque black with a thin brown head that lasted the entire glass. The aroma was surprisingly light, black coffee and chocolate. Taste was a wonderfully bitter blend of strong coffee and bitter chocolate. Palate was incredibly smooth, almost oily. A top brew!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle on Honeymoon in Jamaica: Poured a thick black color with a tan head. The aroma was coffee, milk chocolate and some Hershey’s syrup. The flavor was thick and creamy with some roasted chocolate malts and a hint of coffee as well. The finish was a strong bitterness. Overall, a decent brew
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured in a Pillar Biter glass, like black coffee with a minimal coco head. Everything was there for me on this one, the roasted malt quality and chocolate notes with some subtle sweetness. Just seemed a little thin on all aspects and not enough ABV umph! In general a relatively good stout
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Luscious aroma of bitter chocolate, cocoa powder, roasted malt, mellow (but still rich) coffee, alcohol, some doughiness. Flavor just continues to bring on more and more surprises for a 4.9% brew, all in the chocolate/dessert department. There remained something odd about the brew to me, after all the rich, sweet stout flavors, the finish had a nearly dopplebock feel to me, not really actually, I just can’t put my finger on it and that’s the best I could come up with. In any event, something just didn’t jive with me, but still a very, very rich and intriguing brew that I’ll be having again.
