Sep 6, 2006 Bottle. Thanks to jsquire for sharing this one. Small tan head that mostly diminished, lackluster lacing, no visible carbonation, opaque, and a black hue. Roasty, coffee, some chocolate notes and licorice. Flavor was roasty, coffee, malty, and chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel. Nicely done and worthy of a try IMO.

Sep 5, 2006 Updated: Nov 6, 2006(Bottle BB 05/13) Roasted malty, licorice and coffee aroma. Black (reddish) colour and small, brownish, more or less fully diminishing head with fair lacing. Burned/roasted malty, coffee, licorice, slightly bitter and sweet flavour. Dry, creamy, softly carbonated and medium to full-bodied palate with a hint of alcohol. Good imperial stout but not as tasty as Slottskällans’ respective one! 05/11/06 (original rating was 8/4/8/4/15)

Aug 24, 2006 Pours an oily black with a thick light brown head. Big delicious aroma of coffee, molasses and plain roast barley. The palate is so full and thick, with plenty of coffee, molasses sweetness, helped along by perfect light carbonation. The roast barley flavour is spot on, slightly raw, but smoothed out by the definite presence of oatmeal. Outstanding.

Aug 15, 2006 The last beer I recived in a trade with oh6gdx. This was also probably my favorite. This shows how a little subtlety can best in your face huge flavors. The black body was topped with a khaki colored head. The aroma was roasted coffee with a bit of chocolate and some brandy. The taste was lots of coffee with a little bit of brandy and some dark chcolate. There was also a nice roasted character in the background. Smooth and well balanced, this is a winner.
