A - Pours jet black with a full frothy mocha head that sinks slowly forming a velvety ceiling. Excellent lacing patterns. S - Chocolate covered pretzels, waffles, sweet roasted malt, hints of coffee. T - Roasted dark malt, chocolate, molasses, cherry, prune, maple. A smokiness compliments the sweetness and helps to dry it out. Finishes dry with a somewhat robust aftertaste. M - Very smooth and creamy feel. Floats across the palate. A very sold Stout. This is always very enjoyable beer. It’s a comfort beer that I could drink any time of the year. There’s a certain delicacy about it that makes you want to savor every sip. Serving type: bottle 01-21-2011

Black color, head is minimal and vanishes quickly leaving a very thin broken film. Very good lacing. Strong, long lasting malty aroma: licorice, toffee, toasted cofee, vanilla; and traces of dark fuits, raisins, Mouthfeel is creamy, mild, complex. Long, warm, mild and well balanced finish. Taste remembers of licorice, bread, dark roasted fruits and clay; complex and very well structured.

I liked this. I would buy it again, but not too often. I like other Samuel Smith’s better, but definitely a decent buy.

Bouteille de 500ml. Classique parmi les classiques cet Imperial Stout fut le premier que j’ai bu il y a presque 20 ans déjà. Le style s’est transformé avec le temps mais cette bouteille est toujours d’actualité. Le liquide est noir et la mousse est brune. Le nez me semble identique à ce qu’il était jadis soit composé de pomme verte, de chocolat, de grains rôtis, de fruits comme des cerises. La bouche est un pur délice, du grand Samuel Smith, des pommes, du houblon anglais, de malt chocolat. C’est facile, léger. À l’opposé des Imperial moderne visqueux et fortement houblonné. (Merci Pat)

Wow. Can’t fuck with England in this case. Just goes to show old school still has a strong presence in the now and the future. Only real criticism would be the fact its old achool . I’ve had these flavours so many times and im always looking for what’s new. Old school done perfectly is still pretty amazing.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with two fingers of fine, light brown head. Good retention and some lacing. Aroma is roasted, malty, sweet, burnt malt. Flavor is roasted malt up front, with a malty, chocolate, toffee finish, hints of stone fruit as the other flavors fade out, very mild alcohol in finish. Roasted, malty, tasty, though I have had some difficulty distinguishing the Samuel Smith beers I have had lately. Soft carbonation, medium body, smooth texture, and fleeting finish. A good imperial stout.

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured black with a nice brown head and very nice lacing. When it comes to aroma, this beer has so much going on that it’s hard to start, there is roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and spices. Taste follow aroma in a pretty consistent way, this beer is malty sweet, lots of dark fruit flavors, caramel, chocolate, coffee and a nice bitter finish. What it is truly special about this beer is how well balanced are all the ingredients it has, very well executed great beer.

Black with medium head. Aroma of caramel and roast malts. Taste still quite full for the low alcohol percentage but missing some sweetness.

Le liquide est noir avec une mousse de couleur brune épaisse et qui glisse aux parois de mon verre.Au nez,thé glacé non sucré, rôtis,chocolat noir ,pruneaux et les mûres sauvages.Au goût,c’est soyeux,sa bonne effervescence apporte toutes sortes de saveurs tel que des notes de raisins foncés,le malt,grains de café noirs qui tourne au fudge (genre tartinades à rôties) en fin de bouche.Pour conclure,une impérial stout anglaise très bien construit que je souhaiterais bien boire à nouveau!
