| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2009 Dark brown in colour with a very thin and quick to dissipate than head, no lacing. The aroma is of light espresso, burnt malts, light smoke with a moderate sweetness. The flavour was initially of espresso, some light alcohol, toffee sweetness with a bit of chocolate. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes longer as it warms, espresso coffee and a little burnt.
This was a little thin at first but as it warmed up more and more flavours started to come out. Nice.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Chocolate totally dominates this one. Way more than the coffee. Nothing incredibly great here, but extremely pleasant and mellow. yumyum (124), barrie, Ontario, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 18, 2009 I thoroughly enjoyed this beer. Did a blind tasting with this, sinha stout and kalamazoo stout. This was my fav. Very very roasty ( to the point it is almost smokey) on the nose. This smokey/roastiness come out in the flavour as well along with a coffee and dark chocolate. Hops not overly noticeable but not overly sweet either. A good balance brew. Definitely a keeper. motelpogo (4399), Plzen, Czech Republic
