Dec 23, 2008 Bottle @ Pitchers Pub, Karlstad. Pours a black color with a nice brown head. Some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, fudge, chocolate, toffee, coffee, fresh hops, citrus, grapefruit. Flavour is nice with notes of chocolate (more like milk chocolate), toffee, coffee, fudge, roasted malt, american hops, citrus, grapefruit. It is bitter, but not too bitter. I like it. Some liquorice too. Palate is smooth, medium carbonation, a bit creamy. Overall, a very drinkable imperial porter. Very good stuff.

Dec 14, 2008 Beautiful pour with a rich chocolate head. Aroma of roasted malt, hops, coffee, plumb, brown sugar. Bitter predominates, but lets plenty of other complexity through. Coffee and caramel are the major notes. Smooth feel and very drinkable. Hunter Thompson is the man. They launched his ashes into space, and that is awesome.

Dec 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours black with creamy tan head. Aroma is of roasted malt, molasses, chocolate, dark fruits, and a little coffee and booze. Flavor roasted and sweet malt, chocolate, molasses, and finishes with bitter coffee and a bit of alcohol warmth. Mouthfeel is creamy yet well carbonated for a porter. Very nice imperial porter.

Dec 12, 2008 15 Nov 2008: Black, with lots of creamy brown foam. Aroma: Roasted malt. Very carbonized palate. Very intensive sweet malt with coffe/chockolate. Very bitter, IBU 85, but does not really taste very bitter. Nice label.

Dec 7, 2008 Shared with Pyrozoid. Pitch black poor with a frothy brown head. Aromas of cedar, chocolate, molasses, roastes hazlenuts, sea salt, dates. Salty, creamy, lactose with a good bitter profile and ok sweetness. Heavy body with slight carbonation. Added flavors of toffee, coffee and a hint of mint. Complexe aromas and flavors... yet for some reason it was lacking a little je ne sais quoi in regards to mouthfeel.
