tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA Jul 25, 2003 Updated: Aug 24, 2003 A delicious Imperial Stout with a velvetty chocalote feel to it. Rich and robust, I came upon it randomly during the summer. Kind of thick, like motor oil, but tastes much better. Touch choice between this and Old Rasputin.
Tranquillity (1066), Espoo, Finland Aug 30, 2008 Very dark brown, huge beige-brown head. Dark coffee, bitter chocolate, sugar in the aroma. Taste more bitter chocolate than the aroma suggests. I might be high, but this is good! albertane (269), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Aug 27, 2008 A late night purchase at the Ship & Mitre in Liverpool, this is very tasty and frankly better than any of the cask beers they had available. It’s a velvety very dark brown with a sweet and boozy aroma, and it tastes powerfully of chocolate (what a surprise) with a bitterness that lingers for ages. mirjukka (355), LOHJA, Finland Aug 23, 2008 bottle 335ml at Pikkulintu Helsinki 140808 bottled winter 2004-2005 ABV ? vintage murky black very dry strong aroma of roasted malts tickling hops delicious chocolate bit milky. Oh hello old friend this I would like try again! rustychiles (429), Mesa, Arizona, USA Aug 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Santa. :D
Pours a rich black with a nice burnt brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted barley, chocolate malt, dark fruits and a little alcohol are present. Flavor is bittersweet cocoa, coffee, licorice, nuts, dark fruits and a little hop bitterness. Roasted coffee and chocolate bitterness linger in the finish. Very nice Imperial Stout. sleepylopes (281), New York, USA Aug 21, 2008 on tap 05. rich and creamy with a nice bit of melowness that comes with age. chocolate and roast malt are present and the ballace and blend is well done. one of the best offerings from the folks at brooklyn.
