| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Pours almost black with a nice creamy/tan head. Smells of some malts, coffee, toffee, chocolate, smokey and nuts. Subtle flavors of sweetness along with every flavor the aroma promised. A little dry and bitter finish, same with the carbonation, a little. Had everything you could want in a stout just more mild than I would like in each category. I very much enjoyed this and could drink as many as I please.

Strong arouma of prunes and chocolate notes. Nice flavor profile of roasted malts and smokey chocolates. Finishes with some coffee-like bitterness. Nice and tasty, if a little unexperimental.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 4, 2010 Pours a deep, opaque sable with a thick, fine-bubbled, fairly persistent beige head. Aroma is strong, smoky and oily with undertones of unsweetened chocolate and molasses and just a whiff of coffee. Smoky flavor has a woody undertone as well as firm tones of molasses and mocha. Texture is smooth and fairly tingly, leaving a satisfying and slightly gritty finish. j12601 (1412), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Not much of a head on this thing at all. The head was slightly off-white, but it faded away so damn fast. Black body. Sweet chocolate and a slight roast. A lot more pungent than other dry stouts that I have tried. Sweet chocolate malts are coming through foremost. Rather thin and a bit smokey. This beer has a nice roast and subtle sweet chocolate flavor. Smoke and roast are coming through more as the beer warms. Not a bad palate i.e. not as thin as other dry stouts. Pretty good. SorenE (129), , New Zealand
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2009 very easy drinking stout and no flaws that I can pick. But it is kinda thin and watery, too carbonated. good flavor and aroma but weak and too faint. snmalouff (9), Arizona, USA does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Mild aroma with a black colored appearance. Lighter taste and bitterness for a stout. Rustyham (598), miami, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2009 very light and fluffy- mouthfeel of a nitro beer. Smooth and really drying to the mouth. Little bit of clove spiciness. Really fun to drink, I oculd down a whole session of these.
