| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 8, 2010 Black with a long lasting tan head. Roasted aroma with licorice and chocolate. Mild hops and a hint of whisky too. Sweet dark chocolate flavour, roasted malt, coffee. Complex and in great balance. The hops are more mellow than in the regular imperial stout, and I’m not sure I like that. Dedollewaitor (3916), Odense, Denmark

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 23, 2010 Bottle. Body is jet black. Head is light brown and dense, almost creamy, leaving fine laces. Beautiful rounded roastedness in the aroma. Lots of chocolate, mild coffee and licorice. Subtle whisky tones, and hints of wood and vanilla. Taste is gently sweet and full malty. Heavily roasted, yet rounded and almost mellow. Discreet whisky tones again, some alcohol warmth, and suggestions of wood and vanilla. Palete is extraordinary, mouthcoating and smooth as velvet. Roast and bitterness from the malts lingers in the finish. A very well-crafted beer, harmonius and balanced, yet tasty and potent. Theis (4017), Denmark
