[1] Review by Cottrell from Ledyard, CT, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/3/2007 6:41:40 PM)
"Pours black with a thin dark tan head. Aroma of charcoal, burnt coffee, grass, and smoke. Flavor starts dry and roasty, some coffee and bitter chocolate, hints of molasses here and there as well as some light cream, then finishes out a little grassy and very roasty. A little thin on mouthfeel for my liking, and way too dry. Could use a bit of sweetness and body to balance the roasted flavors. "

"Shared a bottle of this with my family at my brothers while celebrating Chistmas a few days early. This is one easy drinking stout. It looks good, smells good and tastes good. Nothing wrong with that. Pours out a jet black body with a nice, thick tan head. The aroma's biggest character is the roast coffee. Tons of roast in this, along with some toffee and dark chocolate but it was kinda hard to tell because of the strength of the roast aroma. Flavors were very strong at first and then it sort of mellowed out on the back end of things. Roasted malts, sweet, a bit of dark chocolate but I thought the overall finish was a little lacking. Plus, the body was a little watery also. I like to have my stouts have a little more substance, but this still wasn't bad. Easy drinking for sure."

[4] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:21:05 AM)
"Very black. Mahogany shows through only around the extreme edges. The head is a light chocolate milkshake foam that doesn't fade completely. Roasty aroma with good hop backing. The flavor is dry up from, hop bitterness mingles with the bittereness of burned toast in the middle followed by a light chocolate sweetness in the finish. The body was far from thin, but in comparison to stouts of a similar size it was definitely on the thinner side. Good carbonation though."
