Oct 12, 2008 Great imperial. After reading the by BeerPrince, I would like to add only that, I thought the weight was perfect, I felt like I could enjoy a few instead of the feeling left by some imperials (loaf of bread)

Mar 7, 2005 This big stout had an average size frothy, tan head which hung around. Body was black. Aroma was coffee, roasty, toffee and some chocolate. Flavour starts off thick with some coffee and chocolate flavour but I found it seemed to thin as it went down. Some bittnerness at the end but not to over ride the sweetness. I found it a little light for an Imperial Stout but it was still quite enjoyable.

Jan 24, 2005 Very thick stout. Big time molasses and roasted barley, may explain the high percentage. This stout is absolutely packed with flavor, the molasses is really at the forefront but not too shocking due to a slow snowball sort of effect on the palate. Once the beer hits full speed though its sweet as can be with big smokey notes and a nice amount of bittering hops in the background. The intesity here seems to grow and grow, but it’s perfect if you order some super garlic-a-fied bread sticks as I did. Definitely not a shy beer, worthy of the title, but subtlety is not this beer’s game.
