4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
2008 bottle shared by bsuedekum that he got from cgarvieuk- thanks, Blake and Craig! Pours a deep, dark, just about completely opaque brown color with a small brownish tan head that only stays for a little bit. Aroma of vanilla, molasses, roasted malts, bourbon (which gives some heat), chocolate, and oak. Flavor of charred oak, vanilla, rich roasted malts, bourbon, molasses, honey, licorice, and a hint of dark fruit. Some warming alcohol heat. Medium-bodied, with a smooth, rich, warming mouthfeel and low carbonation. Wow, this one absolutely lives up to its reputation. Amazing stuff.

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2011 Bottle at akkurat. 2008 vintage, enjoyed in late 2011. Pitch black, opaque liquid with huge mocca head with lots of lacing. Aroma of vanilla, bourbon, wood, chocolate, leather and licorice. Super balanced, delicious. Taste is medium sweet, medium bitter with roasted notes and bourbon aging. Very well balanced. Medium bodied, OK carbonation with sticky, moussey mouthfeel. Extremely good. One of the most balanced beers I’ve ever had. Liquid perfection.

250 ml bottle. 2007 version.
Pours a black colour with a small beige head. Aroma of strong licorice, chocolate and roasted malts. Wood comes through nicely. Flavour of roasted malts, loads of oak, bitter hops and toffee. Full bodied, thick mouthfeel and a thick mouthfeel with a long, warming, roasty finish with loads of wood. Not really the best Imperial Stout out here, but still great.
