| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 26, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate light brown head that completely disappeared after the first sip. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt and chocolate with lots of alcohol vapors. The flavor is again roasted malt with chocolate, which is then washed over with a strong alcohol flavor. There is plenty of heat from the alcohol, which lingers well beyond the swallow. A decent impy stout, but there are a good many others I would have again over this one. mar (1985), Dallas, Texas, USA
