Cheeseman DELIVERS! Dark brown pour, tan head. Chocolate and fruit. Like an old style cadbury bar. Flavor? Much the same...caramel, toffee, molasses and some chocolate. Good beer.

TheCheeseMan come-th and he delivered. Thanks Dan! Pours dark brown with tan head. The aroma is bursting with rich dark fruitiness like boysenberries and dark grapes to go along with a touch of caramel and roast. The taste is much the same with rich dark fruitiness like ripe sugar coated cranberries, boysenberry jam and cherries mixing with a bit of molasses and roast. It yields a delicious combination of roasted malts and dark fruitiness seeming a bit like an old ale.

thanks to the man himself, cheeseman!
overly underrated beer, not sure why.
pours dark brown, thin white head with nice golden lacing with some floating sediments.
aroma is grainy, chocolate with possible oat, roasted malts.
taste, bready notes, chocolate malts, dark fruits; possibly dry fig / dates, touch of grassy hops.
Definitely a European approach to Imp stout, and a very nice beer.

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting brown head. Clear very dark brown body. Roasted barley malt aroma with chestnut notes as well as caramel and a bit of cocoa. Mild choccolate liquorice flavor rather than expected coffee, a bit of caramel and chestnut ads up. No hops bitterness, low carbonation and a long sweet aftertaste.

2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Mogwai (227) - Askeby, DENMARK - JUL 9, 2008
Bottle 75 cl. Pours a black colour with short lasting tan head. Aroma is dark caramel, syrup and roasted malt. Flavor is coffee, dark chocolate. Very disappointing for an Imperial Stout. This is more a plain stout if you ask me. Had it been labeled that way, I might have rated it otherwise.

75 cL bottle. Pours black with a little dense light brown head. Aroma is slight earthy and roasted malty with a mild liqourice like note. Flavour is medium sweet with a solid caramel and roasted malt base to a quite liqourice driven flavour. Ends mild bitter with a light chocolate smoothness.
