Oct 15, 2006 5 Years old (2001 bottle): Dead pour; vinous, licorice, must, and cobwebs in the nose, some peppery and oxitive/papery notes; earthy flavor with coffee, sherry, and roasted malt; salty, sour, grapey cardboard finish. Past its prime.

Oct 15, 2006 Real hard to rate. Is it sour? is it liquid laqurice? Is it Worchester-sauce? Jet-black. Low, brown head. Sourness and oak in the aroma. Palate is thick like syrup.

Oct 14, 2006 Aroma of apple fuel, barleywinish overpowering licorice bacteria. jet black beer with a few dark rim bubbles.. seems to stain the glass, takes several rinses to wash the color out later. Teh flavor is absolutely putrid and disgusting, like bitter, sickening medicine, infection scab disgusting. sweet and sour both overpoweringly so and with unnatural flavors that my stomach rejects. the worst thing I’ve had in my mouth since starting beer tasting.

Oct 9, 2006 I bought this beer since it boasted "Imperial Double Extra Stout". Wow, and year 2000 in fact. The pour was thin and very dark with a non-existant head. Aroma was sweet, I was surprised at no coffee or roastiness whatsoever. Taste was, as it claims "sweet and sour". This was a unique beer but had very few qualities of my favorite imperial stouts.

Sep 29, 2006 The Ratebeer FAQ says: “when you rate put style aside and tell us how GOOD the beer is”. This is what I did and unfortunately this beer does not meet my criteria of an enjoyable beer. And the price ($6.99 for a 12 ounces) is quite stiff.

Sep 15, 2006 Updated: Sep 16, 2006(Bottled, 2001 vintage) Pitch black with no head. Very malty soy sauce aroma - like Sam Adams triple bock diluted. A very malty, very salty soy-sauce flavor with moderate roastiness and quite a bit of licorice. Extremely full-bodied, flat-carbonated palate. Alcohol is pretty well hidden behind the huge apparent gravity. A quite controversial brew - either it’s soy sauce gone bad, or a delicious Imperial Stout. Hmm... I’ll say more of the former.

Sep 7, 2006 Updated: Jan 29, 2007Bottle, 2001. Purchased at The Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA. Pours a deep black with a think layer of what could almost be called head. Cork came out clean and dry. The aroma is sweet and malty and quite noticable. The taste is extremely sweet and not very full bodied. The taste feels more like candy then anything resembling a stout. Overall this brew is very disappointing and I won’t be having one again any time soon.
