[1] Review by Ackman from Nantucket, MA, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/22/2008 10:56:00 AM)
"A very nice stout. I'm a fan of stouts, but this one is a great example. Typical stout color. Yeasty smell. The only problem I had with this, is the INSANE amount of foam that came out when I opened this sucker."

[2] Review by doulos31 from Middletown, DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/14/2007 3:17:12 PM)
"Beer pours dark brown with two finger head. Very pretty...nice lacing as well and some yeasty chunkies on the bottom of my glass. Flavor is sweet malt. The flavor isn't as sweet as the aroma indicated. Lots of roasted malt, milky/lactic and chocolate with a pine hop finish. A little too milky and not smooth on the tongue. Strong flavor, but a little too much on the lactic and pine. Okay. "

[3] Review by Cottrell from Ledyard, CT, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/23/2007 4:52:49 PM)
"Pours dark brown, near black, with 2 fingers of frothy dark tan foam. Surprisingly not over-carbonated, as were many, many of the past Cisco's I've had. Aroma is very roasty, burnt coffee and dark chocolate, hints of fig, and some herbal hoppy notes. Flavor relies on roasted flavors, lots of burnt chocolate and coffee throughout. Some molasses and figs poke through up front, followed by some hickory smoke and some interesting earthy, almost musty flavors. Finishes out with some subtle citrus and pine. With all that roasted bitterness, this beer stays very dry and drinkable, despite the 8%abv. "

[4] Review by willblake from Brick, NJ, USA who has tried this beer (1/18/2006 8:05:27 PM)
"05.22.05 750ml bottle thanks to MBA at Jimmack04 invitational. With much anticipation the bottle was opened and luckily nobody was killed. The beer poured nearly black under 16 inches of sticky tan foam. Eventually it settled down to the point everyone could try it...I had my sample an hour later and it was much more tame. Thin aromas are not so roasty but almost lactic. Lots of citrus, burnt graininess. Fruit salad syrup. Body, even after and hour, is fizzy and thin. Watered down coffee soda. Not the strongest of efforts from this MA brewer, it’s a letdown."

[5] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:21:12 AM)
"Definitely a foamer. Luckily, I was quick enough to get it to the sink before it spewed everywhere, but that's because I caught it before the lid was fully off. Huge tan head eventually fades completely away. The black body has a bit of a gray cast to it. A bit of the imperial stout fruitiness on the nose over a little chocolate. The flavor and body are thin. Some chocolate, some lingering hop bitterness. Definitely not one of the fuller flavored stouts of this size."
