[1] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/6/2008 2:03:50 PM)
"I had some good beers from Shipyard. This one is a good representation of a stout. It pours as expected, ebony. The ran head maintains a decent retention on pour. The carbonation is very goof adding well to the mouthfeel. There is a yeasty aroma. The flavor is roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. It is creamy as it passes on down. "

[2] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/17/2008 2:03:56 PM)
"The aroma is nice and malty with some sweet and maybe some slight chocolate bitter with some cocoa with even some very slight hops. The appearance is very nice and a jet black in color but a very wonderful dark, rick amber to burgundy in color when held to the light with a very nice head on top that is huge and light-tan in color and remains and leaves good lacing. The mouthfeel is full and robust with very nice coffee and malt complexity balanced well with hops with a smooth palate. The flavor is robust and coffee bean-like with nice chocolate-cocoa as well with some nice hoppy bitter also with a nice and smooth finish. Overall, this is a good porter with full flavor, I like this very much."""

"Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma of candy sugar chocolate and coffee. Flavour is quite the same but very sourish. Watery palate. Third or fourth Shipyard for me, so far they have not impressed me at all..."

"Good stout- opaque dark color, nice light brown head. Heavy smell and taste of deep and darkly roasted malts, in fact a little smokey. A little thin for stouts. Touch of hoppy bitterness towards the end. good job on a good stout"

"Nice Stout that poured jet black with a thick brown head. Has a nice roasted malt flavor to it with just a hint of a peat taste to it. Nice rich flavor that has a nice creamy finish."
