Nose is roasty and coffee laden, a touch of burnt malts. Flavor is spot on with the aroma, albiet a little more of the burnt malts coming through and hints of bitters in the trailer. Slight hints of dark chocolate. A bit light in the body, but still good. BrewDad (2366), Olympia, Washington, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 7, 2008 500 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours an opaque black color with a big tan head that lasts a fair while and leaves oodles of lacing. The aroma is medium in strength with distinct notes of molasses and dark chocolate. The flavor is dominated by molasses and anise, with dates, plums and mocha coffee rounding out the sides and back. Mouthfeel is full, smooth and creamy. The finish is long with a pasty sticky effect on the palate. Overall: a better than average stout, but something seems to be missing. Recommended.
