Great moth feel thick and rich. This is a great Stout!! Bigmmartin (366), Dayton, Ohio, USA May 11, 2009 Bottle. Dark black beer with a large brown head. Aroma is wonderful, full of coffee and roasted malt. Strong flavors of coffee and powerful roasted malt. Very well balanced, it all works together. Full bodied and dry. Very enjoyable. kimcgolf (822), Dacula, Georgia, USA May 11, 2009 Pours from the bottle to a jet black with thick brown head that lingers well and leaves okay lacing. Aroma is strong coffee, roasted malty nuts and a hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel was full and rich, and the ttaste took the coffee and roasted nuts of the nose up a notch. At 9.5%, I was a little surprised that the alcohol never made itself known in either the nose or taste.
This all rounded to a somewhat sweet, long and warming finish.
glennmastrange (805), hobe sound, Florida, USA May 11, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of toasted, molasses and mild coffee, light resin and earth for the hops and yeast, with milk , alcohol, tar and faint spice in the background. Head is large, frothy, light brown, with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is black. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is moderately acidic and heavily bitter. Palate is full, creamy with a soft carbonation and finishes dry, chalky and sticky. A powerful and enjoyable Imperial Stout. curly (548), Nashville, Tennessee, USA May 10, 2009 Black with a frothy brown head. Coffee, mocha, cream, ripe fruit, and choc aroma. Taste is coffee, nut and alc. Very creamy thick and rich texture. Coffee finish. finol (475), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden May 10, 2009 Bottle.
Pours black with a tan head, to much and sharp carbonation for higher appearance and palate rating.
