Nov 29, 2008 Locorice and dark chocolate aroma. Large creamy light brown head. Excellent lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Clear amber body. Heavy sweet flavor with a tast of dark chocolate, and a long finish duration. Medium to full palate Good creamy texture.

Nov 27, 2008 Tons of roast in the nose. Incredible roast in the taste. Coffee. Darkness. All the flavors an Imperial Stout requires. Very nice. Could use a bit more body.

<b>3/18/2008</b>: Nils Oscar Imperial Stout pours a clear, ruby/chocolate brown color with a thin, bubbly head. The aroma of coffee and chocolate is good, but not overly rich or deep. Black coffee, milk chocolate (lactose-like), and artificial sweetness are present in the flavor. There fruity notes in the middle and it finishes sweet and roasty with hints of char. No alcohol can be tasted. This beer is medium-bodied but seems really thin. It definitely needs some more heft to the body to match all of the dark, roasty flavors of the style!
<i>11.2 fl. oz. bottle (7.0% Alc/Vol; 5.49+tax from River’s Bend Wine and Spirits) shared by Rob. Thanks Rob! Rating #379 for this beer.</i>

Nov 21, 2008 I must have gotten a bad bottle, based on other reviews of this beer. It was flat, lifeless, tasted like wood ash & burnt celery. Total drain pour.
Maybe I’ll rate it again, then again, maybe not.

Oct 18, 2008 Dark color. Smell of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, hops, malt, dark fruit and minor spice. Taste of the same but very rich. Very solid. Very nice impy stout.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle from a mixed case via Phil L’s Cave Direct, Beer Merchants Sept 08 Pours very dark brown with beige head. Chocolate, coffee and a real sweetness mark this one out, its an ok beer but nothing special.

Oct 10, 2008 Murky dark brown pour with some dark cream head. Some roast coffee and malt aromas. Smooth with a small amount of carbonation. Roasty, mocha, a little sweet malt, coffee. Clean finishing. Med/full bodied. The lower abv definetely makes this a non-standard Imperial. It’s less edgy, but very drinkable and very good. This might even be a little under rated.
