Great appearance of this heavy bodied and high alcohol. Intense aftertaste, it’s a real imperial stout.

Pours very, very dark with a dark brown, thick head. Almost like it was on nitro. Aroma like caramel candy with some coffee and citrus. Taste is powerful and thick. A viscous blend of dark roasted coffee malt balances with a pronounced hop bitterness. The 75 IBUs almost seems like it’s a bit low for the bold bite. This is a fabulous brew that commands your attention throughout.

2010 April bottle. Pours brown black with tan head. Dense aroma of berries roasted grain and a touch of booze. The taste is glorious, smooth rich and a little grainy. The hops are extremely balanced and smoothed out. The finish is warming and a bit dry but soothing with the berry taste lingering with modestly roasted grain. This is a great beer anytime but two years is worth the wait to let the alc and piney hip bite mellow.

Bottle, pours inky black, slight tan head. Malty aroma with slight chocolate undertones, very complex aroma. The flavor starts immediately with malt and chocolate, the hops are just powerful enough to be noticeable but complement the hops with precision.

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2012 Bottle, Daglighallen, Trondheim (89 kr). This is (for the price) my favourite beer by a mile. Pours black with a brown foam with some nice white tones. Aroma is of roasted malts and some chocolate. Tastes of dry chocolate, some light oak, liqorice and some earth. Ends really dry but the taste lingers for a long time. Wonderful stuff.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled 2/18/2011. Pours pitch black color with a nice 2 finger dense tan head with fantastic retention that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Some great soapy lacing on the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel, roasted coffee, biscuit, molasses, roasted malt, nuttiness, and light herbal hops. Incredible aromas here with great balance and complexity. Taste of big dark chocolate, roasted malt, biscuit, caramel, toast, molasses, dark coffee, herbal spiciness, and nuttiness. Fair amount of spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, caramel, molasses, coffee, herbal spiciness, and toast on the finish for a while. Great flavor balance and complexity. Medium carbonation and full bodied; with a huge creamy and slick mouthfeel. Alcohol is very well hidden at 9.5% with only a faint warming after the finish. Overall this is an absolutely incredible imperial stout; and has lived up to the expectations of the last time I had it as well. I need to buy more of this just to keep around and age.
