| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 6, 2008 I really enjoyed this stout. Not a big aroma but a beautiful black color with a large fluffy brown head after a hard pour. Nice malty sweetness with a smoke taste in the background. Ends with a bit of hops. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2008 Bottle from Beer Club: Poured a deep dark brown, almost black with not much head. The aroma was roasted malts, some caramel. The flavor was rich and smooth, espresso and dark chocolate. Overall, a really good Stout. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA

So many flavors and variations of coffee and dark chocolate but, surprisingly, not very bitter. Flavor lingers for a long time. cryfreedmb (113), Ocean, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 30, 2008 BOM. Pour dark black with little if no head. Smell is very potent. Flavor is very complex and lingers on the tough. I’m not a big fan of stouts. This is decent but not something I would drink or buy on a regular basis. However, I do appricate the fine craftsmenship that has gone into this brew. agillespie81 (195), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 29, 2008 Black in color......opaque. Creamy head, though it fades pretty fast. Strong roasted malt aroma. Sweet taste up front, with subtle vanilla notes. Very creamy mouthfeel......roasted malt back. popephred (193), Plainfield, Illinois, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 29, 2008 Beer of the Month Club Selection: Poured from a chilled bottled into a pint glass. Pour produced an opaque dark-brown ebony body with a nearly diminishing light brown head of foam. Aroma is an inviting dark roasted malt with the familiar smells of coffee or chocolate. Mildly sweet, with a slight bitterness at the end, this stout is full-bodied without being overbearing. I liked the roast on this stout as well. Sometimes a stout can go overboard on the roasting, and it lands up tasting like burnt coffee. This Steelhead has it right, however, and I will look for this again. A fine selection from my BOMC. craftbeerdesign (746), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA

I’d buy it again. HopheadHans (755), Bay Area, California, USA
