| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Brown, beige medium lasting head. Rich aroma dominated by roasted malts. Licorice. Dusty chocolate too? Medium complex flavour with coffee, roasted malts. Synthetic vanilla (from cheap chocolate?). Has a somewhat odd dusty note (like air from the attics...). Overall drinkable.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Bottled 355ml. 8.7 ABV. It pours a extremely dark beer with a deep beige head. The nose is of roasted malt and nutmeg with notes of plums, ginger, almonds and grapefruit. Some piney hops showing up. Full bodied. Milky. Wonderfully hoppy with a good bitterness. Again a lot of nutmeg accompanied by grapefruit, ginger and aniseed. Reasonably pleasant yet not all that nicely balanced. Bitter finish. with hint of licorice, nutmeg and aniseed. More like a american strong ale than a imperial porter. espenra (282), Oslo, Norway

The aroma is coffee, raisins and roasted malts. The flavor tastes of coffee, malts and spices and is a bit heavy on the alcohol.
It has a lingering aftertaste. kpresley77 (134), Jackson, Georgia, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 17, 2008 Pours an opaue black colour with a sturdy tan head that fades to a sudsy film, leaving some lacing. The nose is hoppier than anticipated, with bright citric notes, nougat, BOOZE, pine and tones of black coffee. The flavour is full of heavily roasted malts with a peppery bite and loads of NW hop flavour. There are notes of anise, dark chocolate and pine resin. The mouthfeel is creamy and amply carbonated. The booze is everpresent, but not in an offensive way. dutch23mp (161), Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA
