| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 26, 2009 This is a thick thick beer. Its the thickest beer i’ve ever seen. If there was ever a beer to make a beer float with... this is it. But as a beer alone, .... skip it in my opinion. It is so dark and rich... its for the espreso crowd. I think if I enjoyed espreso i’d love this beer. thick dark, malty, dark chocolate, coffee.

C’mon you know you want it.
Take a big thick 8-inch slice of extra-moist and dense triple-layer dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache frosting. Slap it on a cheap paper plate accompanied with a flimsy plastic fork and then...
Go get a can of this sludge, and while making a visibly flamboyant display, crack it open and serve it to your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife/friend in cheap plastic solo cups; just to show them who’s their daddy.

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Pour is blacker than night, with a beautiful khaki head that sticks around. Big malt nose, touch of noble hops spice. A big, meaty, creamy palate slips easily down. Flavors of chocolate malt, cocoa, dried plum. After swallowing, the lingering flavors develop into a roasty nuttiness. So smooth, no alcohol heat - hard to believe in a beer over 9%. Beautiful. Among the very best Imperial Stouts. potbeercollege (311), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Updated: Nov 15, 2009Canned. Black as black gets, pours like oil. Chocolate brown head, with orange hue. Aroma is BIG starting with roasted burnt chocolate, variety of citrus, cider notes, vanilla and more hops than you’d expect from a stout. Also not very much coffee like other stouts, only a little bit. Flavor is roasted chocolate, orange peel, a little also like cider as in scent. Overwhelming. Palate is full bodied and unbelievably well balanced. Smooth finish. sebletitje (1899), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Pours out of a CAN! like motor oil, thick and almost black in color. Strong roasted malt aroma. Flavor has notes of coffee and chocolate with hints of hops behind the malt. A thick slightly syrupy mouth feel with a long lasting slightly tart finish. Notes of alcohol lightly permeate. BiddleBrau (306), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Wow, pouring this from the can was actually scary, it poured blacker than black. There is a reason it’s called 10w50. No light is visible through this brew. Dark tan head disappaited quickly. Big roasty sweet nose. I smell coffee, cocoa, plums and raisins. This is a hefty brew. It’s like dark chocholate, roasty and dry with some sweetness. Alcohol is present but that’s too style. This is a well balanced and beefy brew. A perfect winter beer.
