| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 15, 2006 Dark brown, frothy head. Aroma is chocolate, cream, milk. Taste is lots of roasted malt, which imparts a nice bitterness as well. Light sourness, slightly dry. Great soft body, approachable. Finish is roasty, short. guzzler67 (1277), Hanover, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2006 Deep brown appearance with a medium sized, mocha colored head. Acerbic, roasted malt aroma that takes on characteristics of chocolate, coffee and caramel. Sweet malt taste that is a tad cloying; chocolate and caramel prevail along with almonds. Sweet, smooth, long lasting finish. (thanks to vikingsman69 for the bottle) Kevin (1918), Colorado, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 7, 2006 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of chocolate, nuts and roasty malt. Tastes of cocoa, cream, coffee and chocolate. Not bad. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 7, 2006 12 oz bottle. Black with a tan head. Lactic sour nose with vegetal hints, gets much better as it warms, becomes a peanut butter cup scent. Really strange, but pleasant. Biting coffeelike flavor followed by a slightly sour finish. Something is off here - this was actually a rerate. The first bottle I shared with gputty was very bad, but this is better. Still, off somehow.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 4, 2006 Poured from 12 oz bottle nice dark, small hint of carbonation. Head was slight, of light brown sugar color. Aroma was of milk chocolates, coffee, malt and liqour. Tastes of light chocolates infused with a bit of sourness. Not really sweet IMO. Not the best stout I had, but fairly drinkable. No comparison with DR’s Baltic Porter. Aubrey (2774), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Deep and dark brown. Lively, tingly carbonation. Fairly light body, but with a creamy base. Big chocolate, roast and dark toast. Finish was filled with bitterness and coffee. Not really enough sweetness, and not much lactic. shrubber85 (2878), Wallhalben, Germany
