Proteus (98), Finland Oct 12, 2007 Bottle. Opaque black and a thick frothy head to start with but faded a lot towards the end. Heavy roasted malts aroma with hints of coffee. Soft malty flavor with a surprisingly hoppy finish to be an imperial stout. Also some notes of chocolates and coffee in the taste. Not that heavy imperial stout but quite good. SamGamgee (1396), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA Oct 10, 2007 33cl bottle from systembolaget. Black with some amber on the edges as it thins, and a very small tan head. Roasty malty alcohol aroma with some hay and bread. Thinner body for an imp stout, but the abv is pretty low for an imperial. Flavors are pretty simple with slightly sweet raosted malt, a little porty maybe, and then an actually quite bitter finish with some dark chocolate in the backround. Not very rich compared to other imperial stouts, but a good beer. probably not worth getting again though. stobbe74 (655), Denmark Sep 23, 2007 Bottle, 50cl. Pours a dark to black beer, with a nice head. Roasty aroma with notes of chocolate and coffee. The flavor is slightly bitter with chocolate and coffee. Overall a nice beer. mugabe (215), Sweden Sep 22, 2007 Bottle. Black as the night, thin dissipating head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and tar. Somewhat thin body. Creamy dry taste with roasted coffee and a hint of leather. BelgiskOlklub (397), Viby J, Denmark Sep 19, 2007 It is a great stout with hints of leather, coffee and smoke. The beer is black, has white foam, full body with oily feel and a long finish. cab (861), Denmark Sep 18, 2007 Bottel.50cl. After a long day with idiot´s and ass-holes this beer is a Heavenly beer, it saved my day. Need i say more. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Feb 24, 2008Date: 12/22/2007
