| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 22, 2009 McMenamins adds calories per pint to their descriptions? Gee, thanks.
Pours black but barely any head and no lace. Aromas of cocoa and coffee but the chocolate dominates. Taste is more of the same but with some smoke. Palate a bit flat. 22415brewery (65), redmond, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Straightforward flavor of roast from black barley and medium malt backbone. Pours into a pint glass a nice dark black with half an inch of head. A little bit of coffee, slightly creamy, good roastiness, finishes a touch sweet. Also had on Nitro with better than average results.
Makes a killer ice cream float.
I’ve experienced several versions of Terminator and some have been good and some disappointing. Although I’m a huge fan, I’ve found a fair bit of inconsistency with some of the McMenamin’s properties as far as their brews along with their food. I don’t know how much tinkering their brewers do with water chemistry, but there is a definite flavor difference between Terminator brewed in Washington State compared to Terminator brewed in Oregon. Still though, one of my favorite Stouts out of the Northwest. Lubiere (4491), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 18, 2009 A dark brown stout with a thin moka head. A light sweet chocolate aroma with cloying butterscotch notes. In mouth, a decent chocolate with some cherry notes, a bit of an oily mouthfeel, Ok, but no more. On tap at Six Arms, Seattle, Sept. 12 2009. can8ianben (903), Pasadena, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 14, 2009 Thick and chewy - a nice contrast from the porter in my sampler. Black body with a thick head that sits thinly on top. Some rich coffee flavors to go along with the creamy roastiness. thooper41 (384), Oregon, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 18, 2009 Deep dark body, heavy roasted chocolate malt. Light burnt coffee notes. Uninspired. vulcanmeister (102), La Grande, Oregon, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 18, 2009 On tap at McMenamins in Roseburg OR, this stout just blew me away. It was dark, thick and scrumptous. There was a nice blend of light sweetness and dark roasted malt with some dark chocolate overtones. One of the best.
