| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Trade form fordest - Thanks! Black, with a thin ring of brown foam. Vanilla, milk chocolate and coffee aroma flavor has a lot of fruity notes in it, which is kinda surprising. So in addition to the expected stout flavors, there is a nice mix of blackberry and prune and raisin. dry, flinty finish. General66 (167), Streator, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2008 12 ounce bottle from The Beer of the Month Club. Pours a completely opaque jet black color with a tiny brown head. The aroma was very nutty with hints of chocolate and coffee. Tasted like dark chocolate with hints of vanilla. It left a somewhat bitter taste in the back of my mouth. It had a fairly heavy mouthfeel. This was a very enjoyable extra stout! I am glad I was able to try it! robforbes (1085), Bremerton, Washington, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 13, 2008 PITCH black and thick with a shortlasting chocolate brown head. somewhat smooth molasses and cognac brew that is full of dates and perhaps raisins. there is a lesser roasted malt character that is lingering. perhaps a touch of charcoal enhanced by a characteristic type carbonation. brandy in the nose. seemed to have been more amped up in the alcohol (as is posted.) i do not find this to be a particularly outstanding brew for ordinary circumstances, though when called for this stout would be a real pleaser. i find quite low chocolate and similar in the sweetness.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Black with a tiny brown head - damn near a still beer. Sweet roasty malt and coffee nose, a wisp of smoke, some mild fruitiness. Flavor is way more smoky than anticipated, lightly bitter coffee and chocolate fudge. Very drinkable for a big, flavorful stout. Chocolatey and charcoal finish. Body is the full side of medium. Delightful!
