| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 4, 2006 330 cL bottle thanks to my friend juha in finland. aroma of burnt oatmeal, coffee, raisins, smoke, chocolate - imagine anything dark that might possibly go into a beer and the aroma has it. smooth licorice and bitter unsweetened chocolate, with a warm malt throughout. medium finish, with an evaporative finish tasting like bitter coffee. if it were "fuller" this would be top-notch, but it’s excellent as it is. thanks juha! larsga (2959), Oslo, Norway
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2005 Brown, creamy head with larger bubbles. Black opaque body, possibly slightly brown at the edges. Faint aroma of chocolate and coffee. Sweet, firm taste with smoky notes, rather soft round the edges. Somewhat mild for an imperial stout, even a little watery. No real aftertaste, just dries up. Coffee notes linger. A good imperial stout, but not among the best. unibaren (145), 8000 Århus C, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2005 Nice liquorice and coffee aroma, but not overly powerful. Black but not pitch black, nice lacings but light-brown head with low staying-power. Fairly light body for an Imperial Stout. Taste is fine with coffee, chocolate and liquorice notes. Finishes with long roasted aftertaste combined with a nice bitterness. pfr (121), København, Denmark

Creamy medium body. Much thinner than an American Impy Stout, but delicious in its own way. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark
