| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 3, 2007 Bottle. Dark black pour....very minimal dark brown head. Love the aroma, roasty malt, choco-caramel and soy-like. Flavor is sweeter than expected, but that’s not bad. A sweet roastiness that is pretty intense and coffee laden. Nice full mouthfeel....with a matching alcohol teaser. Light dry bitterness in the end. I’m enjoying this style more and more...great brew. padrefan98 (788), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2007 Bottle; poured a thick, dark black with a smallish light brown head. Aroma was great with chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruit, and caramel. Smooth and "velvety" mouthfeel, which wasn’t amazing for me. Good palate. Flavor has a lot of bittersweet chocolate, caramel/toffee; some coffee, soy sauce and fruit. Alcohol well hidden. Complex, but easy drinking. chef201atc (249), Weatherford, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 18, 2007 Pours a dark brown with slight froth. Smell is a little soft, not much going on there. Taste is roasted coffee and cocoa. It also has a sense of fruit going on that is pleasant. Mouthfeel is smooth but a tad too carbonated. This is a easy drinking beer that slightly shows the 9% abv. It’s not very sessionable, after one, I think I’ve had enough.
