4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Pure velvet, I love this beer. Smooth, rich creamy, great chocolate taste does not overpower. Did not know this was considered an Imperial Stout, I couldn’t taste the alcohol at all!! Well maybe a little as I fell out of my chair!!

UPDATED: JUL 16, 2003 Yummy winter brew that's damn hard to find, even here in NYC. I think the Young's Chocolate Stout is better, though.

Amazing aroma, if it was a little stronger it may be the best smelling beer in the world. Rich flavor, nice and smooth taste, great balance of hops and roasted chocolate. Not as coffee flaovred as lots of stouts, and I for one dont miss that. Excellent.

Great roasted aroma. Body is full of roasted and chocolate malts...perfectly balanced with the hops. A great imperial Stout.
4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
A gentle imperial stout with a rich, warm, not-overwhelming chocolate flavor and smooth, balanced palate. A great introductory stout (for those who say they don’t like ’dark beer). A very drinkable, but not passive, winter seasonal.

Rerate 01-02 version: Every sample I try improves. A huge blast of dark, bitter chocolate, followed by a more mellow cocoa-milky chocolate finish. Just lovely. Original 00-01: A deep, rich, very flavorful imperial stout. Great roasted malts with very noticeable chocolate. Little coffee in this stout, which for me is a big bonus. Very pleasurable drinking.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice and thick, with a creamy mouthfeel and nice chocolate notes, a bit of fruit, and a sometimes bitter finish. Packs a punch.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
A potent imperial with a less astringent roast character than most leading to a pleasant moka-chocolate flavor. The bitterness detracts from this a bit, but still a remarkable beer and well worth a try when you can find it.
