A great barleywine. I’d love to try one of these after it’s aged a few years.

Distinctive nose with a big slab of dark fruits and strong roasted malts with an sharp note of alcohol. Brandy notes in the mouth with a complex spirit like booze with hints of dark fortified wine tempered by an oakey smoothness. One of my favourites.

Gerbeer (130) - vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 25, 2012
330ml bottle from Big Ridge. Pours a very dark brown with very thin tan head. Dry dark chocolate aroma with fruity hints. Fiery dark chocolate taste to start and a wacky hard to define finish. Hot with alcohol - like eating chocolates infused with rum or brandy. Not really for me - alcohol overload for a stout.

calm_dreamer (10) - GREECE - MAY 22, 2012
This has to be the most weird yet interesting imperial stout i’ve tasted. The taste of berry in combination with the aroma of jasmine, berry and maybe wine makes comes with a nice body and no head, even though the carbonation appears on the tongue. It all results in an awesome beer directly for what it was meant to be drunk with, space invaders. Ultra recomended when you want to get out of "regular" and go for something that you will remember.

Molt bona Imperial Stout. Intensa, aromàtica, cremosa, llarga. I de les més econòmiques dins del seu estil. Es pot demanar més?

Hirotoma (233) - Bologna, ITALY - MAY 19, 2012
Birra da meditazione pura! Da non bere a pranzo, come ho fatto io nonostante lo sapessi, Ottimo aroma dolciastro, con sentori di mirtilli e altro che non ho saputo decifrare, sapore dolciastro e complesso dove spuntano ancora i mirtilli, un tocco di liquerizia e poco cioccolato + altri sapori per me inconprensibili, complessa è dire poco! Forse troppo etilica ma al tempo stesso beverina! Birra a dir poco misteriosa!

TheCametron (791) - SCOTLAND - MAY 19, 2012
Keg at Brewdog. Blackish Brown with a red hue and a creamy head. Aroma is very sweet and burning of alcohol. Flavour has a lot going on . Really oversweet with a slightly unpleasant mix of sweet acidity and coffee bitterness. Cranberry is a good shout. Tangy with rampant alcohol. Turps. Quite difficult to drink much of but undeniably complex.
