| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Pours a jet black color with a minimal tan head. Aroma has some strong sweet roasted malt and and a lot of woodiness. Some dark fruit and licorice are also present. Flavor is very intense roasted malts and a bit of smokey bitterness. Roasted nuts and coffee beans add some more bitterness in the finish that is very smooth and easy. Medium-full body and average carbonation. Very nice stout that had a complex flavor and doesn’t try to add too much sweetness. terrybail (335), London, Ontario, Canada

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Flask from LCBO. Coffee and chocolate aromas prevail - semi translucent pour. Seems much higher-gravity than a typical plain stout, almost like an Imperial in some ways. It has a little more power and richness than I was expecting, while still having subtle nutty/toffee top notes on the finish (rather than the almost soya saucelike qualities of some Imperials.). It seems really well put together & fresh like it is unpasteurized. First class. kpresley77 (134), Jackson, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Bottle pours opaque black with thin tan head. Aroma is coffee. First taste is sweet and roasted malt. There is a slight cream flavor but roasted malt carries throughout the whole beer. The finish is clean and there is slight coffee aftertaste. Pretty good stout.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 29, 2008 Bottle from the LCBO- Deep opaque black pour is capped with a thin, but lingering layer of mocha froth. Milk chocolate in the nose leads to musty dark chocolate, some faint grassy hops, black coffee, with a lactic presence. Tastes of semi sweet dark chocolate, a lactic milky blast follows, leading to coffee, anise, and a decent hit of bittering hops. Creamy and bitter finish, with a nice lingering lactic aftertaste. A favourable beverage to ward off this particularly cold October evening.
