| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 20, 2008 500 ml flask bottle - poured deepest black but when held to the light, some ruby shos at the edges. Small, bubbly, mocha head. Aromas of tar, roasted barley, espresso, and a bit of chocolate. A hint of sourness as well. In the mouth, the flavours are less distinct and act together as a whole. There is also a slightly astringent, bitter finish. Really opens up as it warms. Roasty, slight alcohol. A tad thin. Niceness. movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 18, 2008 50 cl bottle. Black with a large, frothy beige head leaving excellent lacing. Malty notes of coffee of chocolate, some raisins and apples. Sweetish taste with an averagely long bitter finish. Medium to full mouthfeel, soft carbonation, quite creamy.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 17, 2008 Bottle. Vanilla cream aroma is surprising coming from the black pour with a beige head. Flavor is light chocolate with light hops but a nice mouthfeel. arrogantb (700), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 17, 2008 This beer comes in one of the coolest flask style bottles. This stout is dark black (surprise!) with a nice thick tan head that died very quickly. The smell is roasty and very, very enticing. The taste is nice and roasty with a little chocolate but the flavor is very weak overall. The taste does not live up to the smell. It almost teases your tongue and then runs away. The mouthfeel is very smooth and silky. As it warms up the beer really starts to surprise me with a nice flavor. The drinkability is pretty high as this one doesn’t seem to high in alcohol. This is a good beer but I am so spoiled by American stouts that it doesn’t quite measure up.

Pours a dark brown body with a khaki head, 1 finger depth. Creamy chocolate and caramel malt. Finished bittersweet toffee but with a thin mouth feel and bit watery, the bonus being the high abv giving this brew high drinkability. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 1/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 11, 2008 solid black, quickly disappearaing tan head, tiny bubbles stick to side. aroma of wet cardboard, choclate, sweet malt. bitter smoky malt, coffee, choclate malt in the flavor. the flavor is much more complex that the nose suggests. full bodied, coffee-bitter finish. the mildness of the aroma threw me off. i was surprised to find this a pretty complex, solid brew. buzzoven (333), Japan
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 9, 2008 Chocolate and roasted grapes on the nose. Substantial head resting on a tar-black body. Irresistable first sips reveal a bold flavour bustling with caramel, barley, biscuits, coffee beans working together to instill a satisfactory mellow brew. Aftertaste is very bitter with a heavy emphasis on the roasted aspects in the nose and adding a very dry tone to the proceedings. Quite nice.
