| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Pour is a super dark black with a small tan head. Aroma is a very nice dark chocolate and roasted malt with some coffee in there. Flavor is about the same with the coffee coming over the top with some more chocolate and nuts. As close to an Impy stout as you can get w/o calling it so. I guess the alcohol is to low to call it that. BrewDad (2366), Olympia, Washington, USA

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Zealous decanting creates only a quickly-receding skin of foam atop the opaque ebony liquid; lacing is nonexistent. I start to inhale deeply of the decadent fudgy aroma, but nearly gag from the background taint of sharp cheddar and stinky feet. Upfront, the flavor is superSWEET and roasty, as if I were drinking unfermented wort; sour milk and maraschino/strawberry tastes ensue. Carbonation: nil. A latent vegetal quality reminiscent of overcooked brussel sprouts proves as nettlesome as no-see-’ums. Ditto the thick, sugary mouthfeel. A coffee and sour-fruity aftertaste is perhaps the beer’s least annoying quality. Maybe a decent sweet stout at the core, but countless niggling defects ruined it for me. Madness indeed.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Bottle: A great almost black pour with a pretty thin light brown head. Scents of Chocolate and burnt coffee. Taste is the same as scent. A great stout. BOM 2. JCB (1747), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2008 12oz from a beer club. Pretty tasty session stout, if you ask me. Thick, chewy body. Hopped up like a West Coast stout should be (lots of overtones of SN’s stout, to me) and backed up by a very prominent roasted flavor that makes it pleasantly aggressive. Good stuff. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 17/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Pours a typical deep brown color with a thick head. Aroma is all malts. Flavor is very malty, with a bit of nuttiness and an alcohol bite in the end. Would definitely recommend.
