| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Dark black body with a thin tan/light brown head. Smells of some chocolate, malt, and honey. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Taste of bakers chocolate with a light coffee flavor. Leaves a soft bitter aftertaste which is pleasing. Very smooth to drink. Not a watered down stout at all. Overall really good beer that I’ll drink over and over. VikingMetalGod (31), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours a pitch black with a tan head. I can smell it from across my desk! Simply reeks of black coffee and chocolate with some fruity tones, sweet. Taste is chocolate malt with black coffee with a nice light bitterness. Such a nice strong and balanced flavor here. Palate is heavy and creamy. This beer is like comfort food! I concur with MrRoss’s rating under this one where he mentions the sexy bottle :) MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jul 15, 2009 Wow! This poured an impenetrable, near-as-dammit black colour. Blacker than Toby’s it was. Not much head to speak of, just an ever so think skin of tan. Aroma smelt like coffee and malt and chocolate, in a very good way. And wasn’t the taste just the same, in a heroic, delicious way as well. Grand, smooth mouthfeel and not at all thin like some other stouts. Kudos for the usual sexy bottle (like a hip flask). Tasty and satisfying through and through. Too bad we don’t have 9.5’s on the ratings scale. dnoaksson (165), , Sweden
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 11, 2009 På gränsen till bedövande mycket smak, jäser över alla bräddar. Reser sig som ett massiv av beska, med en mörk och rostad karaktär, samt inslag av kaffe och choklad. Angenäm, men kanske något baktung. Pinball (2718), Allerød, Denmark
