Apr 19, 2008 (bottle thanks OSLO) Pours out black with a tan head that leaves nice lacing and a ring around the glass. Aroma is very dry with roasted/charred malts, slight coffee, a suggestion of smoke, chocolate, cocoa, and some subtle hops as well. The taste is really just all bittersweet chocolate, with maybe a hint of coffee, and a decent roasty finish. The mouthfeel is medium. This is a decent brew.

Apr 19, 2008 [Bottle] Pours black with a dark tan head. Aroma is charred malt, chocolate and a little anise. Taste is chocolate dominant with the charred malt somewhat hidden and a little coffee also present. Fairly thick with a pretty decent length finish. A well-done imperial that may be just a little on the simple side, but has no glaring flaws that I can spot.

Apr 16, 2008 Bottle 500 ml
Appearance: Dark brown ale with light creamy light brown head.
Nose : Slightly acidic roast of coffee, dark chocolate malt and hint of beech smoke. Aromatic softer fruity side noted.
Flavor/Palate : Full mouthed ale. Soft with roasty coffee like touch. Flavorful Bavarian black cake like. Delicate Imperial (?), roasted character was proper, soft floral hop ending. Imperial stout during peace years.

Apr 14, 2008 Aroma is liquorice, chocolate/malt, and coffee, absolutely pitch black, small espresso head, a bit of lace. Taste is coffee, liquorice and cocoa powder. Full bodied, boldly bitter, dry,roasty and warming. Terrific! Though nearly a month into spring 08, this
would be a wonderful winter nightcap. Thanks Radek Kliber.

Mar 24, 2008 Had this at the Sprecher tour... yummy. This has a 7.9% alcohol content, yet you would never know it. Dark roasted malts and a little fruitiness were evident. A little less hoppy than most imperial stouts, but very drinkable.

Mar 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy of mgumby10 -- thanks!
Pours thick and inky, tan head with long-lived microbubbles. In addition to expected chocolate and coffee on the aroma, I get quite a bit of burgundy wine and toasted marshmallow. Gently sweet and coffee-roasty, like thai iced coffee, a hint of berry.
Unfortunately, the mouthfeel is somewhat watery with warming alcohol late. It’s plenty drinkable, even enjoyable, but just not in top 50% of imperial stouts that I’ve had.

Mar 22, 2008 Had this at the brewery. When heard the alcohol content on this and then I tried it. I was blown away that you cannot taste the alcohol in it. Lots of flavor.
