| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2010 This beer pours dark brown/black. The aroma is a mild one of coffee beans. This aroma continues to the palate and is enhanced by mild carbonation. This beer is fairly smooth in body and has some nice bitterness to it as well. JasonG (707), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 3, 2010 bottle - Pours a clear deep ruby red color with smallish light tan head that quickly dissipates. Aroma has vanilla, ash, slight roasty notes, subtle smoke, continental malts and lightly toasted oak. Flavor is malty, slight chewy, with some roastyness, wet oak, touch of tobacco smoke. Finish is just on the sweet side of balanced. Overall this is pretty decent. Not something I would reach for frequently, but on occasion this could be welcome. dm9831 (1201), Monee, Illinois, USA

Taste includes some very nice coffee notes with a hit of chocolate. It is smooth and refreshing on the palate, borderline watery but avoids this. Some light lacing left. A nice dark beer that has a light flavor and body. freekyp (911), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2010 Nice malty nose with roast notes. Pours a reddish brown with a resilient tan head. Excellent lacing. Flavor is roasty but mild with a soft mouthfeel and little hop character. A slight burnt bitterness rises in the finish. michael-pollack (2865), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 26, 2010 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of light malt, slight Oreo, and slight smoke. Poured copper/very deep amber in color with a small, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Very slightly sparkling. Some tiny particles throughout. Flavor is slightly sweet. Tastes of malts, light nuts, slight caramel, and hints of sugar and chocolate. Medium body. Slick, then slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Malt, light nut, and slight caramel finish is a tad dry. Really boring. DigitalMan (127), Idaho, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jan 25, 2010 Very dark red, no head. Light, light floral aroma. Flavor is hard to pin down... sort of like a doppelbock, sort of like a stout... but with a little English-style ale-ness. Thin feel. Eh.
