| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 10, 2009 (bottle - 330 ml) Dark brown pour with a creamy looking tan head. Aroma is full of rich coffee and roasted malt notes. Some light sweetness and a creamy aroma underneath. Flavor has a nice coffee taste at the beginning but it surprisingly goes away quickly. The roasted and bitter notes fade away to a rather bland middle and a slight cream sweetness. A little disappointing in the flavor department, but still nice. ratman197 (3273), Arvada, Colorado, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2009 $5.50 for 11.2 oz bottle. This stout had potential: I like the aroma, appearance, and palate, but severely lacking in the taste department. I understand not every stout has to have a in-your-face body, but I needed more from this--especially from a espresso / coffee stout. Yes, I can taste the espresso, but it is distant and vapid. I know my coffee stouts and this has the potential to be so much more. Nice aftertaste, but aforementioned flaws keep this stout from a higher rating. Finn (1510), Tromsø, Norway

Et lite mokka-farget skum som forsvant fort. Aroma av sjokolade & kaffe. Smaken er balansert med litt kaffe og litt frukt. Langvarig og god ettersmak med sitt syrlig fruktighet.

Pours deep brown with a lovely, staying, big, creamy, beige head. Just like the head on a good cappucino. Lovely sweet aroma, some cocoa, dark chocolate and some light coffee. A bit of dark fruit and milk. Low prickly carbonation, fine dry and grainy mouthfeel. Flavour is lovely coffee-ish. Grainy, some acidity, light citric. Dark chocolate. Long, lingering, coffee bitterness.
