Nov 25, 2002 Chocolate all around - in the nose and in the taste. An espresso bitterness at the end balances the sweet front part of the strong, full taste profile. Beautiful - simply beautiful!

Dec 3, 2004 Pitch Black color you cant see through this stuff at all! Very nice brown head. Bitter Sweet taste hints of Dark Chocolate and roasted coffee are present. Very strong imperial stour and I would reccomend this to any fan of RIS very good beer. But beware of the high alcohal content.

Mar 27, 2006 Had one last night out of my Brooklyn snifter. Everything here is perfect. The fluffy and fleeting head, the light obsorbing color, the rich and hoppy nose. Just a delight to drink. Complex aromas of bomber jacket, wet earth, and cocoa blend into a rich chocolaty mouthful that seems to be light on it’s feet for such a heavy beer. This is a what you should have with dessert, no port, no late-harvest riesling, no ice-wine. Do yourself a favour and have this instead of the milk with that next batch of brownies.
