Apr 29, 2008 2003 vintage bottle. Looks like oil in a glass...jet black, no head. Hugely powerful aroma of alcohol, wood, extremely burnt cheap coffee, and motoroil. Tastes like black licorice covered in teriyaki sauce, then boiled for 2 days, but with a lot more alcohol. And less tasty. I’ve had a lot of beers, some great, some really bad, but I don’t remember dumping a beer out in years. Even quite a few beers into the night, I couldn’t choke this one down. Just dreadful stuff all around. I never would have imagined my lowest rating ever would be on an English Imperial Stout.

Apr 28, 2008 This is the darkest beer I have ever had – and undoubtedly one of the absolute best. There are a lot of Imperial Stouts out and about these days: some great, some horrid. A. Le Coq stands head and shoulders above most of its contemporaries, carrying with it a certain connoisseur edge and mystique.
It carries an almost wine-like quality to it that I really like. It’s definitely one to sip: try it with a high-class contraband cigar (you know, the kind that you can smoke for 90 minutes without re-lighting).
If you think you know Stout, but have not tried this one, then you don’t know all there is to know. Truly amazing.

Apr 11, 2008 Black with no head even trying to pour one. Very strong sweetish smell. Thick body with an almost wine like feel. Fruity sort of taste. Reminds me of a port.

Apr 9, 2008 2000 vintage. Pours a deep black...looks like watery used engine oil. There is zero head, and I think this is intentional becuase there wasn’t a wire holding the cork on the bottle. Smells almost like bread soaked in soy sauce. Very bitter taste with only a hint of traditional stout in the background. Even though it was cool, it made my tounge feel warm when I drank it. The alcohol is very apparent. Not a good beer, especially for the price.

Apr 5, 2008 I popped open the cork and took in a breath and it smelled so good. Pours totally black and I was shocked, NO HEAD. So I came here, I am not alone in this lack of head. The thing is that it is flat but not bad per se. think and syrupy not bad, not good. The flavour does not seem off by the way.
