Aug 30, 2007 Bottle, thanks rickgordon. Dark opaque brown with a medium beige head. Mildly roasted character with coffee and some notes of green pepper. Medium bodied and creamy smooth. Very well balanced, perhaps a bit to harshly bitter.

Dark, almost black body with a creamy tan head. Sweet perfumey aroma, dark and complex with fruit, chocolate and plenty of malt. The flavour hits you with alcohol, a bit of coffee, heavily malted and some nice balancing hops. Thick dark chocolate and coffee finish with a pronounced and pleasing bitterness. Lovely stuff.

Mar 14, 2009 Black color with limited carbonation. Aroma of dates and cola. Very chewy and thick, the high octane makes this a slow sipper. Roasted coffee maltiness with solid hoppy kick at the end.

Nov 10, 2007 Bottle. Deep dark brown, almost black with a small beige head. Vanilla, chocolate and espresso nose. Earthy notes as well. Nice woody chocolate, earthy character, good balance. A great complex brew, for dedicated beer dogs!

Slight roast aroma. Black strong in alcohol and smooth on the palate with some dryness in a crisp and bitter lasting roast finish.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle. Low but lasting creamy light brown head. Clear dark ruby body. Coffee choccolate aroma with a bit of hops bitterness in the background. Sttrong and lovely coffee flavor with choccolate. Very nice palate. Can almost feel the coffee beans. Strong but still smooth and nice without alcohol taste. Low carbonation and a very long aftertaste.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours a very dark ruby with a tan fluffy head. Aroma features confected malt character with hints of green banana, astringent grain and chocolate. On the palate there is a creamy mouth feel, chunky chocolate and toffee a resiny hop note and a long balancing roasty finish. Great strong stout but not an Imperial in my opinion.

Feb 6, 2010 Large bottle via beer group. Pours a slick black with a mocha head. Body is surprisingly medium and is certainly an easy drinker. Nose of roasted almonds. Body is mostly chocolate with some pleasant patent tones weaving thru the shimmering glass. Carbonation is slow but steady. Nice one.
