Pours a near black color. Taste is quite roast and very smooth. Super tasty.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Thick black body, small tan head. Rich coffee and chocolate aroma, fine wood hoppy undertone. Starts full, malty and thick, hop bitterness to balance. Big complexity. Sharper, warming ending. Huge flavour. Light fizz. Fantastic. (ZeeBra)
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
An old, ill kept bottle. Appearance perfect. Aroma is dark malt and chocolate. Taste is the same with a smooth richness, and finish which is nicely sweet. Overall a great impy stout, but would love to try a bottle that still has the fresh coffee bursting out. Almost non-existant in my bottle.

22 ounce bottle shared while in line at Dark Lord Day. Pitch black and syrupy in appearance with a dark tan head of foam. Aroma is big on coffee, malted grains, baker’s chocolate, and toffee. The taste is loaded with coffee and chocolate. It’s a really satisfying beer because it delivers all the best parts of a traditional imperial stout in a big and accessible way. The high abv is underplayed and it’s very drinkable. Palate is heavy bodied, mild carbonation, smooth and thick like a chocolate shake in concentrated form. Overall, it’s as good of a stout you can expect to find sans gimmicks.

750ml bottle to the dome. Opaque brown-black, nice rusty beige head. Balanced vanilla coffee chocolate aroma, surprisingly mellow. A really well executed big beer, quite refined and sublime. A World Class Coffee Stout all the way. So nice and tasty that you want to savor it sip by sip, but it is actually quite drinkable. Classic stuff.
4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Pitch dark black body with a big dark brown head. Intense roasted malty aroma with vanilla, dark chocolate, wood, licorice, honey, berries and lots of coffee. Perfectly smooth body. Extraordinary bittersweet flavour with tons of coffee, chocolate, mocha and dark chocolate, as well as vanilla, honey, caramel, licorice, berries, a hint of floral hops. Perfect.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Noire opaque, vêtue d’une mousse dense, épaisse et persistante, qui manque un peu d’agrément de dentelle. Le nez est sucré, aigre, plein de grains grillés et de figues séchées. Son goût, au travers la masse liquoreuse, est de raisins secs, de chocolat, d’espresso, le tout accompagné d’une douce et franche amertume. L’alcool s’invite efficacement. Un produit qui ne cesse de nous remettre en question. Un bel équilibre entre l’amer et le sucré. Une rondeur exemplaire. Encore une fois, merci Louis! (554-120113)
