Dec 19, 2008 22oz bomber from Canals Hainesport. Pours a deep dark black with a large foamy beige head. Aroma of chocolate, espresso, mint tea leaves, hot chocolate powder, bubble gum and some mustiness. Flavor of chocolate, freeze dried coffee beans, tar, tobacco and burnt malts. Full thick viscous body, light carbonation and a quickly fading after taste of harsh burntness. The flavor and palate are spot on but the aroma might have needed some more time to warm up.

Dec 19, 2008 2007 bottle pours black, golden lacing and head.
Aroma is loaded with oats and malts, some notes of dark fruits and roastiness.
Taste oat, chocolate roasted coffee malts. Thick mouthfeel with a good boozy lingering palate.
Overall, the beer remains rather creamy smooth and thick after taste with emphasis on light dark fruits and roastiness.
This one is just in the top of their Imperial series. Depending of the mood, Jahva, Choklat or Creme Brulle should do the trick.

Dec 16, 2008 Pretty Nice Oat Stout. A tad 1 dimensional though. The usual, chocolate, coffee, malt, etc.. I did like it ,but given the competition, it is a good beer among many. I did drink it all however, so it must have have something going for it.

Dec 14, 2008 Pours very dark, mocha head. Nose is dark fruits and mild roast. Taste- low roast, plum/prunes, molasses. Finish is very cardboardy, seems as if father time has not been kind as oxidation has settled in. Mouthfeel is thick with the oats leading the way and boozy heat. Drinkability suffers considerable from the booze and oxidized taste. Too had as I had higher expectations.

Dec 13, 2008 Bottled sample via ,and sampled with, oakbluff. Black in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of stewed fruit, roasted malts, and booze. A surprising amount of fruit and oxidized flavors, along with some chocolate and coffee notes. Fairly heavy boded. This bottle was a year old, but you would think that a beer this strong would hold up better than this. Not nearly as good as the Chocolat or Jaha va, but still better than the Creme Brule.

Dec 12, 2008 Tak til Sune for denne øl. Farven er sort med et lille beige skum. Der er noget portvin og noget vinøst over den. Choko, stærk kaffe, kakao og mørke frugter i både duft og smag. Fyldig og lækker, ikke særlig humlet. Dejlig.....
