Pinball (391), Allerød, Denmark Feb 18, 2008 Bottle, from the supermarket. (on sale. Yipee!). The first thing i noticed that i didn’t like was the palate - a little too bubbly. But apart from that this is a solid and great imp. stout. aftertaste is a little on the sweet side, but these are just the kind of small details i start to look for when i basically have nothing bad to say about a beer. This one is great, and i’m going to buy lots more while they are sold at a discount.
IDunno19 (22), Ames, Iowa, USA Aug 23, 2008 Stumbled upon this on my last trip to Cyclone liquors and figured I"d give it a try. Usually not a big fan of stouts but this one was really enjoyable. Taste of coffee with dried plums and currant on the palate. Finish is a bloom of oaky and hazy flavors that’s a little sharp on the back of the palate but not too big. Pours black with a dark amber head. Great beer. djtimeless (41), Alabama, USA Aug 20, 2008 Pours out black with little brown head. Smells great. Taste slightly sweet chocolate with roasted coffee. A Thick an rich stout. Very tasty... yumyum (53), barrie, Ontario, Canada Aug 18, 2008 really good imperial. pours dark black with minimal head which dissipates quickly. very nice aroma, with a winey characteristic that reminds me slightly of black and black hole (which are 2 of my favs) The taste didn’t disappoint. Coffee and chocolate in the taste. Not as hoppy as other imperials. Slightly sweeter which I really enjoyed. Low carbonation. Really good brew jetzler (576), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA Aug 18, 2008 Bottle, pours a very dark black color with a thin tan head. Slightly sweet aroma, very subtle hops. Roasted coffee, chocolate, nice dry finish, Great body and compostion, a quality imperial stout, not as hoppy as I like but very good. IPAaLLtHEwAY (106), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Aug 16, 2008 50cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. Batch 264. It poured a dark black colour with a big light-brown creamy head that settles down very slowly in the glass. The aroma smells of coffee, dark chocolate, licorice, malts and alcohol. The flavour is spicy and bitter and tastes of dark roasted coffee and malts, mocca and alcohol. It has a long, lingering aftertaste.
