| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 28, 2008 500 ml. bottle. Pours a lovely tan, thoroughly stout head which gradually deflates, fabulous lacing, wonderful blackish brown color, nose with yeast, malt, bit of coffee, some chocolate, tastes of malts, finish slightly bitter...mouth feel initially a little light, but then the tiny bubbled carbonation comes in and "creams". Nice, but fairly average for the style. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Oct 24, 2008Pours jet black with hints of ruby highlights at the rim. Towering tan coloured head is tightly packed and laces brilliantly. (Head remains substantial till the end of glass!!) Aromas of milky coffee, dry roast and a hint of dark berries. Palate expresses much of the same with the appearance of some brandied characters that complement the hinting dark fruits. Carbonation is noticeably high, which gives the impression of a dryer finish complete with dry hop and highly kilned malt notes. fidel (914), Livermore, California, USA
