| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Bomber->snifter: Pours an average dark brown head that exhibits fair lacing on top of a black body. Aroma of molasses and straw, hops of perfume, and perhaps some chocolate and a tinge of bubble gum in there as well. The body is full, the texture is thick, and the carbo. is flat. The flavor’s duration is long, being lightly sweet and bitter.
A truly fine beer--I would be hard pressed to not drink several of these in a row. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Ebony colored body with a thin cocoa head, this beer brings it!!! Toasted grain, nuts, and more bitter chocolate than I would have expected. Very full flavored but its most distinguishable quality has to be mouthfeel. This one is thick, sticking like peanut butter to your tongue and roof of your mouth. Glad I had an opportunity to try. SoBloHero (56), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 16, 2008 A great imperial stout, obviously strong but flavorful aswell. Pours extremely dark with some head. Despite its high ABV it is easily drinkable for a stout.

Aroma was rich with leather notes and some roasted dark malts and alcohol. Flavor had a strong alcohol presence with some nice cocoa notes. A seemed a little tin on the palate compared to other imperial stouts it was stil good, and very drinkable. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA

Pours black with a brown ring head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with stronger roasted malts and a touch of hop bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. Palate is sticky and dry. Tasty and very drinkable for 11% and the amount of flavor. matt7215 (956), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 12, 2008 bomber from a trade with hogtownharry. pours black with a small tan head that is quickly gone. aromas are hop, chocolate, barley but are somewhat subdued. if the aromas were bigger theyd be a 10. flavour is awesome. perfect imppy stout flavour balance. im really diggin the hop profile on this one. loses one point in palate for noticable alcohol but its not that noticeable and at 11% ABV you kinda expect it to make an appearance. overall a wonderful stout! maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA
