May 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a near black with a nice dark tan head. Aroma is sweet chocolate and roasted coffee. Flavor is malt, sweet chocolate and maybe a touch of vanilla in the background. A slight bitter finish and a touch of alcohol. Dry and a full body.

May 3, 2008 Bottle 35,5 cl. Ahh... One of the greatest imperial stouts I’ve had so far. Only beaten by Närke Kaggen (I also have high hopes for Old Rasputin though wich I wil drink in June...). Very powerful beer with lots of caramel and chocolate flavours (of course). Excellent!

May 2, 2008 12 oz bottle, vintage ’04-’05. Opaque dark brown to near black with a ruby glow. Low lasting creamy espresso head. Inviting aroma of cocoa, dark chocolate, rum&raisin and vanilla. Taste has delicate sweet and roasted maltiness together with light acidic dark fruits, bitter chocolate and salty licorice. Fine bitterness with earth and wood notes. Full-bodied. Bitter-sweet-acidic chocolate finish. Awesome!

May 1, 2008 Shared with Pyrozoid. Very dark poor with a small brown head. Aromas of sweet chocolate, licorice, chocolate malts, dark cherries, prunes with hints of freshly roasted coffee beans. Creamy, thick, lactose induced, full bodied mouthfeel. Fantastic balance... with just the right bitterness and a good long lasting sweetness. Coffee like aftertaste, chocolaty and roasted malts complete the flavors. Very good Impy overall.

Apr 27, 2008 Chocolate aroma and taste obvious, coffee too. Smooth but initially a little too one dimensional in taste; less complex than I’d hoped for. The strength ’tastes’ but after the beer has been in the glass a while the taste mellows. One slowly consumed is recommended.
