Apr 19, 2006 Roommate brought this back from WI. Pours with a huge head that quickly dissipates to a thin brown ring. Black as night, completely opaque, nice chocolate malty, nutty taste. Has a nice long warm finish. Great mouthfeel to it. If only this beer were available in Detroit...hint, hint.

Strong aroma of raisin, dates, dark chocolate and cocoa. Deep black with a quickly receding mocha head. Fore is full of sweet stewed raisins, cramel malts, heavily sweetened and creamed coffee, lots of nutty notes and more dark fruits in the finish. More baltic porter/schwarzbier tasting than Imperial Stout, but very tasty.

Jan 28, 2006 Pours like reduced molasses. Tastes like coffee/toffee/chocolate/raisins/dates/nuts/burnt brown sugar/and roasted malt. Mouthfeel like sinuous liquid Texas tea, black gold...oil, that is! Wonderful!

Dec 26, 2005 This poured a small sized head of fine to large sized mostly lasting brown colored bubbles that left behind an excellent lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was opaque and black in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild vinous dark malt mild coffee mild roasted malt . Its mouth feel is initially tingly biting malt with a lingering slightly tingly vinous palate and a smooth aftertaste. Its flavor contained coffee vinuous dark beer brown malts notes and was very tasty. An excellent beer that I would buy again.

Dec 6, 2005 Bottle courtesy of StewardofGondor. Pours oily black with only a ring of bubbles. Aroma and flavor very muted. Aroma has some malt sweetness and that’s it. Flavor seems a little oxidized, only a tiny bit of chocolate and nothing else. A little sourness in the finish.

Oct 18, 2005 Updated: Oct 19, 2005Pours with a black body. The head is light brown and large. The aroma is deep with chocolate and old coffee. There is also some vanilla and cherries. The taste has some dark chocolate and cherries. There is also some light roasted coffee. A little more fruit and less roast than other imperial stouts I have had, but I like the change. A medium mouthfeel that is a little sticky. Nicely done.

Oct 16, 2005 Sprecher’s best product, but that’s not saying much as all there beers are poor to average. Nice dark colour. Hints of chocolate and coffee in the aroma and in the initial taste. Body turns a bit flat and lifeless later, maybe partial oxidized, and leaves little after taste on the finish. Too sweet and not the right hop characteristic to be a "real" imperial stout.

Oct 15, 2005 Jet black color, the flavor has some roasty & lactic notes. This was an "all right" imperial stout, but nothing special
