Very Thick, motor oil type stout, good overall, just a good drinkable standard stout. Would drink this one again.

sneezey (111) - Hackettstown, New Jersey, USA - SEP 9, 2007
Very thick, malty and quite on the sweet side. Alcohol clearly shows through in the dry after taste. Good start, average finish.

it poured like motor oil and it had a very dark caramel ring around the top. smelled very sweet with hints of chocolate and mostly malt. it was nice and thick on the palate with a very serious aftertaste of dark chocolate.

I had no expdectations for this one, but was extremely surprised when I tried it. The combination of coffee and chocolate flavors are so well balanced and the taste overall is so smooth that I can’t really think of how it could improve.

Very nice aroma of Malt, cream, chocolate, coffee and molasses. Poured a dark black with a nice tan/brown creamy head that slowly receded into a creamy cap. Left very nice lacing on Pint. Flavor was of roasted malt, dark chocolate, cream, touch of molasses, vanilla, coffee and milk chocolate. Excellent flavor! A sweet beer. Has a medium body, creamy and smooth, soft carbonation with a sweet, quick finish that was refreshing and pleasing. A excellent Sweet/Milk Stout!! The only problem I have is I could drink this all day!!! :) Guess I have no problem with it come to think of it... :) If you like Cream, Sweet or Milk Stouts, definitely don’t miss this one! Served in a Pint, this one was made in Cincinnati. One of my favorites!

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - SEP 3, 2007
Bottle. Nearly black dark brown colour with a small but nice head. Aroma of roastedness, coffee, and sweetness. Flavour of sweetness and chocolate. Slightly bitter but somewhat dry - ends up sweet.

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - SEP 3, 2007
Sept. 2005 - Beer poured almost black with moderate head which took a few secs to form. Surprisingly, the mouthfeel of this one was more than a tad on the flat side for me. Flavor was very sweet and tasted like it had more than 4.9% alcohol. This tastes like the beer equivalent to a soda that has been left out too long and gone flat...it’s sickly sweet, thin and difficult to drink.
