| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Sampled from bottle at SMOF. Vintage 07. Dark brown colour, low off-white head. Chocolatey nose, smooth cocoa. Nice aged feel, but not much of madeira or berries. Hm, a little madeira after all. Really malty beer, but lacking in darker malt characteristics. The chocolate tone is light and soft, rounded. Low bitterness. Really lingering flavour. Not very reminiscent of an Imperial Stout, at least not US-style. Frovigalning (427), , Sweden

Sour smell of chocolate and something burned. Smooth mouthfeel, but watery. Alcoholic finish. The taste didnt match the smell. Ungstrup (15119), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and garthicus via trade mgermani. Cloudy deep ruby with a small off-white head. Smells sweet and a bit burnt, not all that impy-like, but sweet, treacly and fairly appealing. Taste is more stout-like, decent alcohol, quite roasty with coffee and dark chocolate bitterness, some dry herbal character, but a bit buttery. Light body, slick, slightly boozy, it has a decent malty herbal linger to it. Odd, but not bad.
