Mogwai (194), Askeby, Denmark Jul 9, 2008 Bottle 50 cl. Pours a dark red / black colour with small beige head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and malt. Flavor is much of the same, with hops and spices. Very good.
jbrus (4350), Delft, Netherlands Nov 30, 2008 Bottle@Home. Chocolate, cola, vanilla, licorice, actually lots of different aroma’s. Black color, light brown head, very nice lace. Sweet, bitter, roasted, coffee, licorice, hint of honey. Soft and warming. Very flavourful, nice balance, good complexity. acrdz (4535), Boulder, Colorado, USA Nov 16, 2008 2007 bottle. Hot boozy nose, vodka heavy chocolate syrup and chocolate liqueur. Creamy and rich up front, then sharp and pasty and drying over the middle. Weird, pasty, a little state and oxidized but comes across as a decadent and enjoyable chocolate dessert beer,
cgarvieuk (2797), Edinburgh, Scotland Oct 11, 2008 Bottle at home ... <b> Thanks to Maria for this one </b> ... big black small off white head ... light malt odd watery mellon nose ... bit over fizzy ... light hop ... medium roast again a tough of mellon ... light sweetness ...little bitterness in linger ... sayravai (3251), Helsinki, Finland Oct 4, 2008 (Bottled) Very dark reddish brown with a medium, beige, partly lasting and lacy head. Very malty, slightly sweet and salty aroma with dried fruitiness. Lightly roasty, very malty flavor with hints of burnedness and some sweet toffee. Sweetness is somewhat emphasized when approaching the room temp. Still hides the alcohol completely without being too sweet. Medium to full body with slightly foamy, but pretty low carbonation. A balanced, smooth and pleasant Imperial Stout. Miksu (1474), Jyväskylä, Finland Oct 2, 2008 0.5 l bottle. Black color with creamy tan head. Sweet aroma with coffee, chocolate, toffee, raisins, cola and licorice. Rich roasty coffeish and chocolatey flavor with raisins, licorice and hints of cola. Sweet but has enough roastiness and bitterness for a good balance. Chewy mouthfeel. Very tasty, could be even better with softer carbonation.
