| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 11, 2009 12 oz bottle from Ohio. Opaque black with small burnt tan head. Aroma is heavy roasted malt and some chocolate, sweeter. Flavor is about to go sour as oxidation is just beginning to occur but the flavors are still strong with once again a very dominant roast flavor, some darker fruit, some lactose, sweeter dirty malt, Full, thick, chunky body with light carbonation. Very enjoyable and one of the better beers I have had from weyerbacher. SamGamgee (1420), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 9, 2009 12oz bottle. Black w/dark brown edges and a lasting tan head. Caramelized and burnt sugars along with chocolate in the aroma. The flavor is mellow and smooth dark chocolate with light fruitiness and light bitterness. Medium-bodied with mellow, lower carbonation. Definitely on the balanced, quaffable end of the style. I would have no reservations about ordering another, but at the same time its not the most exciting stout. rustychiles (1016), Mesa, Arizona, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Pours a dark black color with a small tan head that fades quickly to a thin film. The aroma is of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, anise, and ripe dark fruits. The flavor follows suit with the roasted coffee and chocolate up front followed by the ripe dark fruits and some bitterness on the back end. Not quite as roasty as I would have thought. Medium bodied and very smooth and easy to drink with a long, fruity finish. Pretty tasty stout. jthg (66), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Strong burnt aroma.
This is an all around ok stout. very dry. burnt character. Nice stoutness that reaches all corners of the mouth.
This is not a nutty warm-weather companion. I would suggest this one cold and in the night of winter. Parrothead (185), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA
