Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, brown, mostly diminishing. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (burnt caramel, roasted grain, molasses), with a strong note of rubbing alcohol, lesser notes of sherry, cardboard, vanilla. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, heavily to harshly alcoholic. Ugh. Awful. Bruising alcohol and oxidation rule the nose, not enticing at all. The mouth experience is just syrupy sticky sweetness with a ton of afterburn from the raging alcohol. About as crude and clumsy as Imperial stouts get, but of course this is from a brewery that just doesn’t do this style well. Glad I got this on sale but any price is still too much. Drain pour.

Bottle. Color black with medium brown head. Aroma malt, roasted, caramel, chocolate, wood, smoke. Taste sweet, malt, roasted, alcohol, caramel, wood.

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.

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.

CBC. Black with a light brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, dark chocolate and alcohol. Flavor is very sweet and rather bitter. Very sweet and rather bitter finish with plenty of alcohol. Oily. 110512

From CBC beerfestival.Black colour with small beige head.Aroma is sweet and rosted with taste of vanilla and oile,warming strong alc,kills most of the taste,really sweet and sticky with hint of syrup and caramel.really not a beer i like sorry.

Bottle from bierzwerg.de. Almost black color with small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, alcohol. Taste, roasted malt, syrup, caramel, vanilla, wood, dried black fruit, significant amount of coffee, alcohol, oak. Strong coffee bitter finish. Mind blowing beer.

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?

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!

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.
