Jun 30, 2006 This bottled brew that came compliments of Jeff Squire poured a dark brown colored foamy head of finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing on top of an opaque dark brown colored body that was ruby red brown around the edges with no visible carbonation. The aroma was vinous with dark brown malts and mild roasted malts in the nose. The mouth feel was mildly tingly at the start and medium in the finish. The flavor was of dark brown malts and mild roasted coffee.

Jun 29, 2006 Friends of ours brought a bottle of this and the barleywine back from a recent trip. To me, this was a very small imperial stout - maybe I’m too americanized. Medium body, medium hoppiness. Some roasted flavors, but also some grass or hay. More porter like to me.

Jun 26, 2006 Bottled. Black in colour. Foamy and rich brown head, lacings. The aroma has a strong influence of burnt malt. The flavour is sweet mixed with a sensation of burnt malt and some coffee. There is a sweet aftertaste as well.

Jun 3, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Black and opaque with a lightly creamy, beige head. Nose of roasted malt and coffee. Medium body with lightly burned coffee notes - rather distinct coffee actually. Lightly bitter finish from the malts. 020606

Jun 2, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep brown body with red tinges on the edges and a small white head. The aroma has raisins, yeast, and chocolate. The flavour isn’t as smooth as I’d like it to be with simple notes of caramel, chocolate, and toffee. Pretty good but not spectacular.
Sampled at the Københavnske Øldage 2006 on May 20, 2006.

Aroma has sharp salty soy notes, esspresso, dark chocolate, roasted notes and delicious fudge brownie kind of smell. Dark brown to black body with a quickly diminishing wispy mocha head. Very sharp and bitter in the fore, but it is a burnt bitter not a hoppy bitter. Lots of dark chocolate flavors that are both sweet and bitter. It’s pretty thin on the palate, but the incredible intensity of flavor moderates that a little. Feels like a porter int he mouth, but there are no mistaking the soy, coffee, chocolate and immensely bitter burnt flavors of an IS.
