4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Pours as black as night with a caramel colored head. This is going to be a good one. Smells overwhelmingly of coffee.. maybe a bit of roasted nut as well. Mouthfeel is amazing and goes down easy. Taste is exceptional. Coffee, caramel, toffee, malty.... .one of the very best beers I’ve ever had -- period.. and with a fudge brownie. Incredible.

Really great stout. Nice espresso and oaky flavors. Toasty and sweet. Maybe a little too sweet. Otherwise wonderful.

Siste runde på Cardinaltreff mai-13, og en skikkelig grande finale! Lysebrunt cremet skum, og allerede skummet er en nytelse med enorm munnfylde. "En av de aller beste vi har hatt på Cardinal" iflg. Sigmund, og jeg tiltreder hans besrkivelse: Pitch black colour, brown head. Lovely aroma of heavily roasted malts, cigar box and leather. Intense roasty flavour with notes of strong coffee, dark bitter chocolate and English liquorice. Brilliant stuff!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours an opaque black with small khaki head and decent lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate with a hint of smokiness. Taste is of those roasted malts and dark chocolate with burnt brown sugar and a piney and bittersweet finish. Full bodied with viscous mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Above average imperial stout that hits all the marks and is well put together.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours black with a small head, 330ml bottle. Thick chocolate, coffee, oatmeal upfront in the aroma, becomes roasty and then follows the pine & citrus hop onslaught with a long bitter finish. Complex, but holds everything together nicely with a bit of alcohol warmth. Lovely.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours pitch black with a cinnamon colored head that disappears quickly. Smells of dark chocolate and espresso, and tastes about the same. Solid from start to finish.

A surreal aroma draws you in that primarily consists of chocolate. The pour is straight black without much of a head and very little lacing. The taste quickly makes you forget that the beer isn’t all that pretty. It’s chocolate heaven for the first 2/3 of taste and finishes a touch roasty which balances the beer beautifully! The medium body makes the beer very drinkable at 9.5% and that’s magnificent! Great stuff!
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap. Pours a jet black with a tiny brown head. Aroma is hops upfront with chocolate and coffee. Taste is bittersweet chocolate, malts, and hop bitterness with some alcohol burn.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma of sherry, ripe dark fruits like plum and some coffee and liquorice. Cola black with a hint of mocha head. Medium to full body. Satin smooth mouth feel. Roasted coffee. Bitterness is well in control. Sweetness is there but does not make you feel like you’re drinking candy. Very good beverage.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Smells of soy, raisins, Dark chocolate. Very Dark color with brown head. Sour and bitter with chocolate.
