3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Black colour with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and cocoa. The flavour is very sweet and roasted with notes of chocolate and coffee. Maybe a bit too sweet for me, but still a very good beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) Pours black with a dark brown head. The aroma is fat malty with tones of dark caramel and chocolate. Some warming alcohol. Light floral and ripe dark fruity undertones. The flavour is near medium sweet and light bitter with a super malt profile - boatload of caramel and chocolate. The mouthfeel is round, smooth and light sticky with a light to medium carbonation. Caramelly and light fruity finish. Near full bodied.

Originally rated on 20.3.2009. 330ml bottle from Alko Arkadia. Sweet and slightly boozy, but otherwise quite well balanced and tasty imperial stout. 8-4-8-3-15 = 3.8
Re-rated on 11.6.2010. Taste is much more balanced after some aging. Great beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 2013
Sweetish aroma has roasted malt, some metal and hints of cocoa powder. Flavour is somewhat tart and acidic with some roasted malt, cocoa and lactic acid. Dry and tart finish. Rather oily palate. The sweetness does not disturb like it did two years ago, but the acidic tartness does disturb a bit. Most likely this was a bad bottle.

courtesy of oh6gdx - dark black in colour and with a little dark beige foam left; gently roasted aroma of pralines and licorice; full-bodied and very sweet; long sweetish chocolatey aftertaste with light notes of vanilla - nice dessert beer indeed
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330 ml bottle. Rated @ 22.3.2009.
Pours a black colour with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate, sweet malts and caramel. Flavour of sweet malts, mild coffee, licorice and (unfortunately) vegetables. Medium bodied with oily mouthfeel. This could’ve been something great.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Black beer with nice creamy head. Intenense, sweet aroma of berries and dark ripes. Gently coffeyish and roasted in the finish. A hint of herbal hops and alcohol too. Sweet malty flavor with balancing saltiness of licorice. Sweet flavor hides the alcohol completely. Surprisingly low fluid and slippery palate, velvety and low carbonated. Good stuff.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
3rd June 2010 - Brasserie 4:20. Bottle - thanks to Alex! Black stout, creamy brown head. Light soft frothy palate. Very sweet (it does say Dessert!). A little chocolatey but with a fair amount of forest fruits as well. Creamy tones and a little coca cola in there as well. A Dessert Stout. Does what it says on the tin - loved it!
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle at 4:20 at RBESG Rome. Black colour, beige head. Aroma is very sweet, soy, ripe fruits, light tart roasted maltiness. Flavour is very fruity, strawberry, sweet, raspberries, vanilla, sugar, sweet sugary light coffee bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Way too sweet imo.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
330 ml bottle. Black body, tan head. Roasted, dark fruits and some berries in aroma. Flavour has lots of fruits. Somehow I get a little belgian yeast in taste. This being 6th beer on tasting might have to do something with it.
