3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22oz bottle. Pitch-black color, some light brown head, little lace. Light, crisp carbonation, big body. A bit sticky. Aroma is chocolate and some coffee... But it’s not roasty at all (the way I like my coffee-heavy beers to be). The aroma is a flat one, it’s good, but it’s sort of one-dimensional. It doesn’t waft up through the nose much at all (the FBS is my benchmark for this). Taste is not too strong, a mix of bitter and sweet with possibly a bit too much sweetness. This is still good... But, just as with the ST Choklat, I was expecting much more.

Black colour, no foam. Aroma of caramel and coffee. Taste is enormous, and Rich notes of coffee and matured fruits. Great stout but a bit too strong in alcohol
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark black with a small off white top. Aroma is intense coffee and roasted malt. Taste is mostly dark coffee and then backed with roasted malt. The coffee is mostly lost on me as I’m not a coffee lover but thanks to the Ottawa tasting group for providing this.

65 cl bottle @ home, no BBE info
Aroma has mocha, hops and some vegetables. Flavour has lots of mocha with some dark chocolate, hints of licorice and vegetables. Finish has some fruity hops. Smooth and somewhat creamy palate, that could be richer though. Had two glasses of this, the one at room temperature was better.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
22 ounce bottle. Pours black with minimal head and no head retention. Aroma of spicy coffee, caramel, chocolate, and an earthiness. The flavor consists of sweetened coffee, some spices, roasted malts, and caramel. A nice coffee stout, would be great by a fire on a cold mountain morning.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottled 650ml. -from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Deep black coloured, small creamy brown head, woody and coffee nose. Roasted malt, heavy roasted coffee and dark chocolate with a bit too aromatic hops. Also hint of wood in rather roasty and slight bitter finish. Alcohol well balanced. Superb and enjoyable imperial stout. 11.0%

Tämä Southern Tierin impy on musta olut beigellä vaahdolla. Tuoksu on paahtunut, kahvinen, hieman lakritsinen ja makeutta huokuva. Maultaan olut on liian makea. Kahviakin on jonkin verran. Humalointi ei maussa tunnu vaan makeus dominoi, eikä tee tästä kovin helppoa juotavaa. Paksua tavaraahan tämä on, niin kuin asiaan kuuluu.
