Pours brown with a tan head. Fruity sweet aroma with caramel. Tastes sweet with alcohol and a bitter roast finish.

330 cl. bottle from Buffalohead. Almost clear dark brwon, perhaps the lightest color imperial stout that I’ve seen, with ahuge, gushing foamy head that portends trouble.Caramel aroma with something funky going on. Medium sticky palate, a bit watery. There are some off flavors and a tinny aftertaste. I suspect a bad bottle, especially after looking at recent ratings.

Bottle @ La Trappe, SF. Pours a murky brown with a giant tan head. Chocolate is evident in the malty aroma. Sweet candi sugar, dates, raisins, roasted malts dominate the body. Dry, biting finish. A definite winner, roasted nut/malt character is only signal of a stout.

Hoppy, dark and roasty. Alcohol is nice, but just too bitter for me. Nice foamy head that is uneven.

A little hazy brown colored beer, with a big foamy beige head. The aroma of caramel and chocolate, some dark fruits with hints of spices. The taste of sweet chocolate a little bitter and fruits. The aftertaste has some chocolate with a little bitter and sweets.

Pours a hazlenut brown with an enormous fizzy light brown head. It has a very Belgian aroma with yeast, overripe fruit and a hint of roasted malt and chocolate. Tastes spicy and creamy with notes of caramel, toffee, wood and chocolate and a nice earthy bitter end. These Belgian imperial stouts are new for me, and I like them. Very satisfying, full bodied and creamy. The alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown body with a frothy light brown head. Bit roasty aroma with dark fruity notes with caramel and sugar. Some alcohol as well. Yeasty flavour with some hard roasted malt and overripe fruit. Dry finish with some tart tobacco like touch. The alcohol is present as well. More like a dark belgian strong ale than an Imperial Stout.
