Ah, pitch black. Nice. The aromas are spicy, aniseed, roast malts with an underlying earthiness. Flavours are coffee, chocolate with a plain chocolate bitterness and licourice. The alcohol content isn’t on the bottle - scary. This is imperial stout by numbers - BIG numbers! Rerate - Had from Sainsburys - even better than the last time, more tobacco and bitter dark chocolate. Previously scored 4 - now...more.

Aug 18, 2008 Ceramic bottle, 2007 Edition. Full of chocolate goodness. This is like drinking a dark, bittersweet chocolate bar. Flavors are deep chocolate, some coffee and some malty goodness. Nose has a touch of alcohol, but fades quickly to explose the deep chocolate flavor.

Aug 17, 2008 Ceramic bottle. 2006 version. Nice big creamy tan head with excellent duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are wood, roast malt, coffee and lots of fruit, which surprised me a bit. Very positive experience

Aug 12, 2008 Ceramic bottle, 11.6% as Rogue XS Imperial Stout. Black colour, stable light brown head. The flavour is quite roasted and bitter, some smoke, reminds me a lot of Limfjordsporter, only less creamy and more rough.
