Lots of vanilla, dark chocolate, bitterly roasty. Much like burnt pumpernickle toast spread with nutella dipped in prune juice and eaten with coffee. Luscious.

Couleur noire foncée tapissée d’une grosse mousse crémeuse adhérant à la paroi du verre. Lait au chocolat, cacao et malt grillé observent le houblon semblant fatigué. En bouche, malt hautement grillé et chocolat suivi d’une touche de fumée grise, propre à un feu de camp. Corps d’épaisseur moyenne, faible carbonatation. BrewDad (2412), Olympia, Washington, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 15, 2005 This is such a nice stout, out of the bottle or off tap this is always impressive. Pours black with a tall tan head. Good roasted flavors and aroma with light chocolate and nice coffee throughout. Very smooth and creamy texture and medium bitter finish. brewblackhole (1386), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2005 Fruit malt aroma, on the second sniff chocolate becomes evident, nice full roasted malt chocolate taste, with a coffee bean aftertaste. As it warms the taste changes to that of a dark chocolate. Very satisfying,which I didn’t have to send out for it egajdzis (3645), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 4, 2005 Poured an opaque black color with some red around the edges, a small tan head that left light lacing on the glass. I will have to agree with hop dog in that both the taste and aroma included chocolate and roasted malts, though not much more. A nice stout, not sure its a dry. Thanks Steve!
