| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 17, 2008 This is a solid imperial Stout. Pours a dark black with a thin tan head. Very good coffee and chocolate aroma. The beer is a little thick and sweet with some chocolate. Great coffee flavor. The 12% is incredibly hidden. Good stuff. Another good beer from Southern Tier.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2008 Bottle marked that it was brewed in Winter 2008, which I find physically impossible, considering it is currently SUMMER, 2008! Either way, nice stout, but I am more of a Chokolat guy than a Jah-va guy. Pours with a largish, light brown head covering a black body. Aroma is strong coffee, alcohol, chocolate, vanilla and roasted barely. Taste is strong, sweet cohocolate, creamy, and a bit of mocha in the back. Creamy mouthfeel, with light bubbles.

Has an aroma of strong coffee and alcohol with a slight note of chocolate. Has a strong coffee flavor with a slight chocolate undertone. Creamy Texture. Overall i’d say its a decent, unique beer and a coffee lover’s dream. Skyview (4018), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Riley’s World of Wines in downtown Madison, WI. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick tan head that slowly disappears to a fine film and tan ring. Aroma of heavy coffee that over powers most of the dark malt and any hop character. Taste is full bodied, lightly carbonated and has flavors of roasted dark malt, coffee, a touch of chocolate and some dark pitted fruits. Finish has a nice roasted dark malt and coffee aftertaste that lingers past the finish. badlizard (2339), Berkeley, California, USA
