4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Very dark, head lasts longer than on most stouts. Great flavors--very complex. Burnt flavors and maltiness abound. Terrific beer.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Good stuff. Very complex. I picked up coffee licorice tastes. A bit thin. Not quite as thick as Bell’s Expedition Stout. Still a great stout. Very flavorful.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
The aroma is astonishing--deep coffee and floral hops. Huge sweeping dark, complex malt drying out perfectly. Better than Budweiser.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2004 Intense, tart fruit nose. Explosion of flavors, this one is in a class with very few other stouts. Sweet chocolate, tartness (hops and alcohol), strong coffee. Flavor stays with you a long time. Memorable.

Drank this with the Cali Crew. Had a Tower of Power type nose (refering to the American Galdiator). Reminded me of Christmas time when I get to eat chocolate cookies. Sweet finish and full mouth feel.

This is an incredible stout. A little more hoppy than more conventional Imperial Stouts, but great nonetheless. Highly Recommended.

It was very good but it was nothing like any other imperial stout i had ever had before. Very hoppy, and a slight chocolate undertone makes this something to try.

One of my favorite imperials right behind storm king. Possible a little more bitter. Smooth and sweet with lots of different malts used. Lots of coffee flavors from roasted barley. Worth the 4.50 at the bar.

Mean, tyrant looking old man on the label. Charcoal black. The head was an amalgam of tan and brown like a capuccinno. Smell of nicly roasted malt. Starts mildly astringent similar to juniper berries, with espresso flavors barging in. Bitter chocolate creamy consistency. Some-what flat finish. Nice.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Whew. Has some bite to it. Strong flavor, bitter. Coffee and chocolate flavors. Small head. Not a bad imperial stout but maybe not my favorite.
