| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Kudos the the STL crew this impy stout. Pours very very dark with a dark orange / brown head. The aroma has creamy chocolate with some green apple - the chocolate seems dark, but not bitter at all. Full creamy body that’s very smooth with gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with creamy chocolate and dark malt that doesn’t seem very roasted. The finish has some bitterness from roast and there are some vinous traits. Good imperial stout. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Pour is pitch black with a very small, but pleaseant brown head. Great aroma of chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Slightly bitter upfront and moves int chocolate, coffee, caramel and roasty malts. Sweet finish. Medium to full bodied and creamy. crizay (1050), Brook Park (was Tampa,FL), Ohio, USA

Aroma is tough, lots of alcohol, mollasses, roasty, chocolate. Flavor is coffee, lots of roasted malts along with a lot of dark chocolate. Pretty potent and powerful stout. Sugary sweetness, mollasses, anice. A touch of vanilla. Big bold stout, tons of flavor and complexity with a huge cloying mouthfeel. mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA

Taste follows suit. Very much port and sugars. Finishes hoppy and somewhat roasted coffee and chocolate.
Very solid and not over the top.
