| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2008 Old bottle I had sitting around. Black. Lots of roasted malt with a fruity sweetness that tasted like cherries, perhaps? Booze was fairly noticable as this warmed, got a little tough to drink kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2008 Sampled at the Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival in Georgia on 10/18/08.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 1, 2008 Flat black pour with just a faint khaki head. Tons of excess alcohol throughout, to boozy. Thinner bodied with lingering dark chocolate and coffee. Soft hint of port and cherry in the finish. Enjoyable flavor, but the booziness just got in the way, might need some aging.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Pours with almost no head. Good flavor. This is an extremely smooth imperial stout. The flavor is chocolate covered cherry mixed with sugary goo, similar to a Cadbury egg. It’s candy! maugus4ever (121), Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Pours black with a dark tan head and decent lacing. Great chocolaty and coffee aroma. Roasty flavor with some dark fruits, chocolate, coffee and hops. I like the the way that the sweetness is balanced by the bitter chocolate and hops.
