Dark pale...big amber head. Aroma of carob, earth, peat. Rich, flavorful and big. Some brown sugar, caramel, rich malt, cocoa, slight medicinal notes in the finish. Not the color of an imperial stout...more like a barleywine.

Dec 23, 2008 Lots of Belgian yeast, recognizable as a Regenboog beer. Very dark brown. Fairly dry, lightly roasted with malt, but not very sweet. Probably more of a Belgian strong.

Dec 22, 2008 Pours a deep red with a tan head. The aroma is earthy with detectable malt and alcohol. The taste is sort of thin and confusing - it starts out slightly malty and then explodes into overpowering booziness on the end. Color me shocked, but this is a very rare miss from these guys.

Dec 19, 2008 Dark brown with a black and tan head. Earthy kelp mineral aromas with blackened malt. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice dark chocolate flavor with a candi sugar sweetness. Blackened malts add a touch of dryness to the finish.

Dec 16, 2008 Lot of sweet in this stout. But like other Belgian versions of stouts, it is hard to call it a stout. What we call Imperial, the Belgians simply make malty.

Dec 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to bullzeye. Smell is wood, smoke, oak, and roasty malts. Looks amber colored with a light tan colored head. Taste is like licking a log, wood, burnt, oak. Light body for style, hides the alcohol well behind all that wood.
