dense, rocky head. Sweet, fruity nose. Complex, malty - vanilla and coffee; creamy palate; light notes of raisins and plums. Exquisite.

Pleasant rich sweet woody aroma, with touch of dried fruit sweetness added to it. Subtle quality in two words. This dark ale posses the right medium smooth body for its silky flavour. Light sweet malts, oak acidic woody character wrapped by warming well refined alcohol .medium bitter finish just adds the final matching puzzle .Brewmasters took its time brewing this ale. Very good.

Dense, dark brownish appearance, thick head formation. Sweet fruity plum and raisin nose with dryish woody, grain notes. Sweet fruity intro, plum again, turning to a lightly roasted cocoay finish. Slightly burnt bitterness in the aftertaste. Was expecting an onslaght of alcohol and a thick c hewy palate, but it’s much more subtle than that.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2003 You guys are all crazy. This was the most magnificent and unique stout that I have ever tried. Great cocoa and mocha flavors. Although, mine was very fresh which could definitely help.

An outstanding, complex bottle-conditioned Imperial stout, from a country with the sort of climate that usually leads to bland lagers. Practically like a less hoppy Old Rasputin. Let it never be said that the British colonial legacy was all bad!

- dark black color, strong roasted mocha aroma with hints of chocolate and hops; bitter, roasted flavor with a sweet mocha character, very smooth
