| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2007 2006 bottle. Dark, blackish color with a small tan head. Aroma has some chocolate, cream, coffee and interesting sweet-roasted malts. Taste has some dark chocolate, coffee, cream, and licorice thrown in. Interesting Impy stout, but it falls short of the "upper level" in the style. Will try again after some aging. kmweaver (2440), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2007 12oz bottle, 2005 vintage. Pours a pitch-black center with minimal light at the edges. Fluffy, medium-tan head with good retention and lacing. Dense, dark chocolate and nougat in the aroma; layered sweetness, with no show of alcohol. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: milk chocolate and chewy, roasted malts, with an oily, nutty character throughout; light carbonation, with any show of hops well-integrated at this point; a well-done imperial stout (dense, flavorful, well-integrated), that relies mostly on its chocolate notes. Lengthy, dry chocolate and cocoa at the finish; ends with only the slightest bit of dryness.
