Aug 15, 2008 bottle, best bf 2012. strong aroma. nicely balanced extreme imp.stout. a little alc. in the aroma. looks great, although just a small brown head. flavor is one of the very best imp stouts i have ever tasted. sweet , coffee, mild chocolate dominates, but other stuff is present. mouthfeel is thick. I consider this to be in the group of very best stouts i have tasted. Great brew.

Aug 12, 2008 Dark black engine oil pour with a very dark brown head. Aroma is very roasted and burnt with dark fruit and light hops aiding. Beer was very thick with a lot of smooth chocolate blended well into itself. This is a beer to be shared and shared it was. Very good brew. Would buy again if I could find it.

Jul 14, 2008 Swing top bottle. a black as coal beer with a small and fast disappearing dark brown head. The aroma is malty with notes of chocolate, coffee, licorice and roasted malts. There are also some aromatic hops that shine through the roastiness. Rich, complex and powerful aroma. The flavour has a good sweetness and overall the chocolate notes prevail on the others. Good roastiness. Full body, soft/average carbonation, long finish with medium bitterness from both roasted malts and hops (but more from the roasted malts). Complex, not overly syrupy and flavourful. A loss this is no longer brewed.
