| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Bottle pours an inky-black with small light brown head. Nose is roasted coffee, burnt chocolate. A bit of vanilla comes through in the taste. Decent anytime stout, but nothing to really rave about.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Pours a thick black liquid with a very dark brown head. Aroma is strong and of sweet burnt coffee, the taste is a little weaker version of the same. Lighter than I expected from the pour, rather drinkable. Very good beer. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2008 Bottle. Small fizzy light brown head that mostly diminished, virtually no lacing, mostly opaque, very little carbonation noted, and a black hue. The aroma was malty, chocolate and roasty. Ditto for the flavor with a hint of coffee. Fairly smooth mouthfeel and medium in body. Quaffable, nicely balanced, very tasty, would drink this one again, and worthy of a try IMO. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 13, 2008 Black pout, thin brown head. Chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and berry aroma. Sweet and viscous. Acrid burnt flavors with molasses and some tanginess. Low hop flavor and low bitterness. Very rich body. A little sweet for my tastes but not too bad. jcr (1149), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2008 Opaque black/brown body with small tan head that disappears quickly. Aroma of rasted malts, chocolate and a hint of molasses. Moderately sweet flavor with a light to moderate bitterness in the finish. Moderately acidic. Medium body, creamy texture. Low carbonation. Good stuff. Nugget (30), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 11, 2008 Mmm... stout. I’ve been drinking a lot of stouts lately and this one is absolutely exceptional for the price. A six-pack of this costs less that two cans of Ten FIDY.
Nose has hints of caramel, a good amount of coffee, and a delicious chocolate milk character.
Flavor is roasty with espresso overtones and mild hop bitterness. Get some! FrancoisMtl (61), Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2008 Bottle from fordest. Pours pitch black with nice tan head. Aroma of chocolate and milk sugar (lactose). Chocolate flavor comes at first with coffee and roastiness notes. This is a well brewed stout. Thanks Sean! merlin48 (511), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Very dark pour sits opaque in the glass. Ruby tinged cocoa head retains well and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is milk chocolate and overroasted coffee. Taste has a nice dark roasty bitterness with some hints of chocolate. Hints of anise and pine hops add some interest. A good American stout.
