250. Thanks, Thewolf! Jet black. Thin, brief tan head. Big, sweet, chocolate, plum, and cherry nose. Creamy medium body. Almost sticky. A little vodka twang. Lots of chocolate and fruit on the mid-palate. Long vodka finish, but not a completely unpleasant one. Very nice effort, tons of flavor. Might benefit from some time in a cool dark place to get its thoughts together.

Bottle picked up directly from the Brewery, Denmark Sept 2008 Pours black and oily with only the merest hint of light turning the edges to a brown colour. The aroma is oily hops and a little tar like but with a little sweetness also. I note that there are amarillo, centennial, chinook and cascade in here well that’s the only bit of the label that I can read, but it was very clear from first whiff that Americn hops were trying to burst out of this beer. The hops cut through the molassess and roasted malts and even the liqourice flavours which do show are slapped back down by the mighty hops. The bitterness is ever present and roasty flavours cling stalacmites to the roof of your mouth.Very nice.

Thanks AgentSteve, Dark brown/black, chocolate, alcohol, molasses, darkfruits, little roasted malts, little wood.

Pours almost black with a thin tan head. The nose is huge, with chocolate, molasses, dark fruits and some alcohol. The flavor goes a bit more smooth with some wood (?) and the other influences from the nose. A bit sweet with a hot finish. "Quite pungent. Stings the nostrils."

Black body with a beige head; Very good nose, deep and super intense, the huge amounts of hop aromas are very well fitting; Super soft body, full soft carbonation with a sweet malt fill, a very little to simple and lacks a little of the intensity of the nose; Bitter finish, long bite, a little to much roasted aromas. Very nice beer that generally lacks a little balance.

A Mes rate: bottle shared with Hog Town Harry. Thanks massively to Jan and Charlotte.
Black and opaque with a thin but very stable tan head and plenty of lace. Stunning aroma. Awesome chocolate, lovely latte coffee, amazing sweet booziness. Good level of bitterness and a nice peppery hit. Hell bloody yeah. Awesome fruit and chocolate flavour with some slight ethanol and a fantastic almost astringent bitterness. Sticky but in a strangely good way. Slight bready funk with a bitter dark chocolate finish with an excellent sting from the alcohol. Shame about the papery hint in the aftertaste. Glorious mouthfeel. Slick and viscous yet strangely thin. Perfect hint of carbonation. Stunning beer. Amazing stuff. Thanks as always to Mr and Mrs Fonefan.

Bottle at EBF 2008, Copenhagen. Black color with a small brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor is coffee, coffee and chocolate. Heavy stuff - and I love it!

Bottle, 25cl. Pours a pitch black beer with a medium/large brown head. The aroma is licorice and roasted malts, complex. The flavor is heavy on the licorice and some roasted malts. Very bold and nice mouthfeel. Overall a fantastic Imperial Stout.

Bottle (250ml). Shared by Mes_and_Sim - wheee!!. Lovely pour - (5-) - deep brown-black, solid medium-brown frothy head. Deep roast aroma - nut oils, flavoured coffee (I got a bit of hazelnut), a bit of treacle and yes, quite boozy - although I didn’t get 12% Thick, nutty deep roast taste, my ears warmed with the first sip - this is perhaps simple, but the deep roast and alcohol synergized well. It was oily and boozy on my palate, but oddly while it started thick it finished a little thin - initially it felt as soft and silky on my palate as any imperial I’ve had ... but it does finish hot, and a while I liked it more than a little, doesn’t quite make it to great.
