| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 18, 2004 Deep brown in colour with a tan coloured head. Aroma was of chocolate cake, vanilla and cookie dough malt. Flavour was malty (dark bittersweet chocolate, roasty, nuts), coffee, quite sweet. Ends with a long bittersweet chocolate bitterness. Excellent porter. sethdude (611), St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Pours a dark black color, no light shines through. flavor has coffee on the start, rum in the middle, and dough on the end. has a bit of tart something going on in there, but it's hard to place. I really taste a rum flavor in this. head diminished very quickly. I have no idea as to the quality of this bottle, but i did buy the one furthest back on the shelf, and it had dust on it. I liked it, either way. mikeben (344), Naperville, Illinois, USA

A bit biter but not unbearably so. I think it is a lot like two brothers stout. In saying that I think its really good. I cannot discern the major difference between porter and stout. Woodsy feel and not for the timid. Oatmeal is still this companies best, this needs a more creammy mouth feel. karsten (241), odense, Denmark
