Pours black with a rather big and dark brown head. Smells of coffe, chocolate and sometihing burnt or smokey like a whiskey barrel aged beer. The aroma develops and changes over time as the beer gets warmer.
Smoothest imperial stout Ive ever tasted!
Tastes of coffe, rosted malt and some acid like in a very dark chocolate.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2009 Bottle. Look: Black, big and thick beige head. Smell: Complex. Coffee, chocolate, someting bourbon-like (and smokey). Taste: Lots of coffee, some strange sharp flavor, (acid) dark chocolate, nutty. Lacks of real power/character. Overall: Full bodied, thick and incredible smooth. Well made and unusual stout. thebeertourist (2777), Oslo, Norway
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 18, 2009 From bottle at Wachi, Kyoto. Almost black with a creamy, persistent, light brown head. Strongly roasted aroma. Tastes like an over- roasted espresso, like a wake-up call, but hiding its strength nicely. Body could be fuller. Still an impressive specimen. radagast83 (1289), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Pours a dark brown color, with a medium-small tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malts. The flavor is certainly a nice, balanced coffee flavor, that isn’t too overpowering, but serves up a nice powerful kick that any coffee and beer lover would enjoy.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Apr 16, 2009 Black with a half-inch tan head. Aroma of coffee and sharp, roasted malt. Flavor is much the same with a very starchy, ricey thing going on. Didn’t care for it. Soonah (925), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 14, 2009 The pour was thick dark brown, threatened to be viscous at one point in fact. The head was brown and more robust than I expected. The initial aroma was very nice. Rich chocolate that reminded me for a moment of Breakfast Stout. Coffee comes out as well. The flavor was coffee, chocolate and some almost sour, acidic flavors that were quite distracting. Mouthfeel was almost medium in body and the finish had the aforementioned acidic, sourness that left me a bit disappointed. Pwn3d (1054), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 12, 2009 11.2oz bottle. Pour is black with tan head. Nose is sharpie. Taste is dark chocolate, burnt malt, charcoal, cigar, espresso and maybe black licorice. Mouthfeel is medium, medium full. A big brew but pretty approachable.
