UPDATED: APR 9, 2009 Black with a lasting brown head. Rich and complex aroma of chocolate, licorice, port, dried fruit. Sweet flavour with all kinds of burned notes, followed by a solid hop bitterness.

Bottle. Thick black pour with a small, dense, lasting tan head. Aroma is heavily roasty but the hops are quite noticeable too, with notes of chocolate, smoke, toffee, coffee beans, pine and cherries. Flavour also has lots of chocolate and coffee as well as notes of liquorice, raisins, vanilla and a hint of citrus. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy but still quite dry, with moderate carbonation and a long roasty, bitter finish. This really is a monster of a stout, it almost seems bigger than it’s 9.5%. Quite delicious though and pretty easy drinking considering how rich and heavy it is.

Marrone scuro quasi impenetrabile con schiuma beige abbastanza persistente. Naso intenso e complesso di caffè, liquirizia e cacao. Densa, quasi oleosa, con l’alcool in evidenza bilanciato da un’amarezza sopra le righe causata da un disinvolto uso di malti tostati (75 IBU ma sembrano di più....) Non male, ma del suo stile si trova di meglio.....

Go to imperial stout. Busted open a bottle from last year for breakfast this morning. Chocolatey awesomeness has mellowed a bit as have the hops but was smoother than the cheerios i ate with it. Incredibly good and easily available. Me like.

Pours black with a finger tan head. Smell is chocolate and cherry. Taste is red fruit and chocolate, burnt ash. Light to medium body for a stout, drinkable, lighter mouthfeel. Good.

This is excellence in all kind of ways. Pours with a mocha head, almost pink-tinged in the dimly lit room I’m in. Tracing shows arcane divination patterns. Taste has booze, anise, raisins, cacao and coffee. Palate is mad heavy. Initial smell has sweetness booze and chocolate. Hops as well. Can’t find much of the citrus in here yet, but maybe as it warms up. Bottle from Consumer bevvies in Niagara USA...... By the way, half a bottle later I feel like I can taste the citrus.

Bottle at home 26th May 2012. Aroma is expresso and dark chocolate, beer pours deep black. The taste is full on chocolate, liquorice and leather, burnt and smokey. This is my type of Imperial Stout, perfect mouth feel and carbonation, smooth and thick, delicious.

Pours a dark thick black appearance with a two finger dark brown head. Aroma of smokey roasted malts, hops and chocolate. Taste follows the nose. Wow is this hoppy, a little two hoppy for a stout in my opinion. Bitter with an aftertaste that hangs around. Pretty good but not in my top five impy stouts

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours thick and black with a tiny head that dissolves fast. Smells like chocolate, a bit hoppy? (Got a bit of a cold atm so my senses are a bit off) Taste of chocolate, coffee, cherries in liquour, roasted notes. Medium carbonated and full bodies. Long, nice, bitter aftertase.

Light smell, beautiful oily pour, brown foam. Roasted, almost smoky taste, lots of coffee. A great stout! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bottle at home, from my MTH glass Pours dense black, with a medium tan head, lacing is spotty to good. Nose is tart molasses, smoke, licorice, black chocolate. Flavours of tart chocolate, a bit lactic, smoky, very chewy. Hmmm... This is the same tartness I’ve found in other versions of Yeti, but it is much less offensive in the standard Yeti than in say the Espresso version. Solid.
