Nov 16, 2007 Updated: May 31, 2008Bottle. The color is near black and the head is brown and short lasting. Aroma of heavily rosted malt with notes of salted liquorice, coffee, raisins/dried fruit, cocoa, smoke and fruity hops. Taste of roasted malt, coffee, salted liquorice, raisins, smoke, caramel and bitter hops. Great and well balanced Imperial Stout. 7% alcohol.

Nov 14, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Deep blackish pour with 2-finger tan head and good lacing. Aroma is roasty dark malt, chocoff, some molasses, and some PVC wafts. The taste is roasty dark malty, with some brown sugar, coffee, tart cherry, and chocolate notes. Not a terribly dense palate, and the parts just don’t seem to meld together for me. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by the huge Impy Stouts, but this one fails to wow me.

Nov 12, 2007 bottle....appearance: semi thin dark brown cola pour with a thin light tan head....aroma: dark fruits, burnt roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, and some coffee rinds....taste: bitter cofee, lots of roasted malt that leaves a bitter finish in the end. mouthfeel was way too thin being an imperial stout.....was expecting a little more from this one.

Oct 24, 2007 Very classic and wellmade imp stout. Black but with a minimal fast disappearing brown head. Heavy malty nose of roasted malts and salty liquirice. Flavor is bitter from roasted malts and has notes of roasted coffee and english liquirice. Not too many supprises, just super solid.

Oct 23, 2007 Updated: Oct 24, 2007Has all the makings of a good imperial stout, a complex aroma with bourbon wood (vanilla), roasted malt (espresso, ash), dark fruit, chocolate and liqourice, with a rounded & balanced taste and long-lasting finish. But it is TOO smooth, almost no carbonation and no rough edges. A very well-made beer, but too polished to really be spectacular.

Oct 23, 2007 25cl bottle from De Bierkoning. This is fantastically brewed beer, if I do say so myself. Aroma is huge and rich dark coffee, unprecedented complexity and volume for a 7% beer, and every bit as balanced and luxurious as one could possibly hope. A similarly large and profound taste backs it up, the coffee sitting backseat to pure dark chocolate, very dry but very drinkable. A masterfully done beer.
