| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 3, 2009 On tap at The Pinhook, Durham, NC. This was poured with zero head...bummer. Slightly milky and creamy. Not a strong roasted presence and I could feel some slight sourness and acidity. Although tame with the creaminess, this held it’s own ok and I found myself enjoying it more as I came towards the halfway point of the pint. changeup45 (788), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Bottle from Turdferguson. Pours a dark brown color, it is dark but not quite black. No head at all. The aroma is roasty coffee and chocolate. Flavors are well-balanced with roasty coffee, dark chocolate and a little smoke. Same as the aroma but it tastes stronger than it smells. Would have liked some sort of head on this but overall pretty solid. Thanks Sam! thewombat (112), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 29, 2009 Smells bitter, harsh, dark brown pour with light head. Very Creamy. Tastes of chocolate milk, cream and sugar. Very sweet, med. body, thick and good. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2009 this beer, and in my opinion others of this style are the antithesis of quenching. they leave behind a sticky spit, heavy aftertaste that makes you thirsty for water. that said, aroma was roasted grainy, flavor had a sharp quick note of coffee chocolate before proceeding into sweetness. not areally big fan of the milk sugar.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 28, 2009 Cocoa and a splash of coffee in the nose. Nicely cabonated. well balaced, simple stout. CanIHave4Beers (866), Des Moines, Iowa, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Another huge thanks goes out to Durhambeer for this superb beer! This pours with tat espresso swirl head with a deep brown almost black color. Aroma is roasty coffee and chocolate, very nice. Flavor has plenty of chocolate and vanilla with enough roasty flavor and bitterness to keep it fairly balanced. Very good. Palate is particularly creamy and full. ketchepillar (478), Viña del Mar, Chile
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 19, 2009 Roasted barley character is nice. Not much of a milk stout, lactose is barely discernible. Nice mellow grainy dark malt character. Almost too mellow to the point of grossness. A bit vegetal.
