Black with a big tan head. Aroma was strong coffee and roasted malts. Similar flavor with a touch of hops and caramel, caramel, a bit of earth. Finished bitter, but not overly coffee. Very nice.

thanks for another great tasting Kim (Beljohansen)!!! Very dark, short creamy head, notes of roasted malt, chocolate, hops, coffee, sweet and bitter. Great balanced.

Bottle at Pikkulintu / Helsinki. Pours a black brownish color with a small beige head. Aroma of coffee, oatmeal and vanilla. Taste of brown sugar, espresso, roasted malts and chocolate. Palate is smooth with a good bitterness at the end. A damn fine imperial stout but way overrated imho.

Bottle. Let me begin by saying that I had extremely high expectations for this beer due to A. The $$$$$ and B. the high review scores. It poured almost black with a nice tan head. Aroma strong of roasted malts and coffee. Flavor much the same as aroma, a little more of a dry roastiness than the creaminess that I taste in many oatmeal stouts. Not a bad beer, but seriously overhyped. It seems as though everyone wants to see some European beers come out that rival the best of the American craft super-brews(IIPAs, BWs, & RISs, etc.), but I haven’t had anything beyond a few assorted Belgians(and these are in distinctly Belgian styles and are sort of apples to oranges compared to tAmerican beers) that touch the American brews. They are, however, headed in the right direction. This is a good thing as any true beer lover should wish for advancement of beers and brewering all over the world, spreading the joy so to speak.

Thanks to Drew for picking up a bottle of this for me a few months ago. I’ve just now gotten around to giving it a try in celebration of rating 775. I’m a little disappointed to find this is not a Top 50 beer. Instead it is simply a solid coffee stout with some buzz. At the cost of a bomber I’m not likely to pick up another one unless it is for trade.

Aroma / Appearance - The black oily body was just as I expected a top flight stout to look. The dark tan head lingered for a while before deciding to subside. Chocolate, black coffee, anise and peanut butter mud pie intermingled in a solid but not earth shattering combination. I was expecting just a little but more complexity but could not find it.

Flavor / Palate - Black coffee and plum tickle the tongue before the watery mouthfeel hits the throat. It’s not so thin as to be lifeless but did not meet my expectations. The finish reminds me of a cheap breakfast of slightly overcooked toast, dry plain oatmeal and coffee made from beans which have been burned. While it is a solid cohesive beer I was not blown away. Still your mileage may vary so give it a try if you like stouts.

Bottle courtesy Gillard. Pours black with a one finger lasting tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and oats. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium roasty mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

Black with a dark tan head. Lots to smell here; big cocoa and cold, bitter, spent coffee grounds, earthy hay, and boiled cabbage. Medium body and smooth. Taste is mostly roasted malts with sour oatmeal and that spent coffee ground bitterness to finish... Not a bad beer, but really, whats all the fuss about ?? For the inflated price of this one bottle, i can buy a 12 pack of Obsidian Stout, in fact i’d take a bottle of Obsidian over this beer no matter the price. ’nuff said. ( steps off soap box). ;- ) 12127

Dark motor oil pour. Aroma is notes of oat with a coffee bean and creamer goodness. Crisp flavor with roasted malts and very slight hints of coffee. Full and rich palate with a medium lasting smooth finish. Expected more taste of coffee but still a Great brew.
