dimenhetfield (156), , Florida, USA Nov 7, 2009 Very awesome. Has a great aroma that has roasted notes of coffee and chocolate. Not as over powering as I was expecting, very smooth and drinkable. Pours a nice jet black color with minimal foam. RichardW (237), Carlisle, Cumbria, England Nov 5, 2009 Bottle, Beers of Europe.Very hoppy, rich, black full-bodied stout that is packed with fruity and roasted goodness. Let the beer slip slowly down and you can savour the explosive depth of it. At this strength you expect an almost treacle-like product, in a UK beer, but this is the perfect combination of everything you could ask for in a hoppy bitter and a dark stout. Fantastic. SpencerDB (10), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Nov 4, 2009 Rich, thick head. Great aroma. Coffee flavor with a hop kick. Just awesome. Everything I want in an imperial stout. Drank out of a regular pint glass unfortunately, but still delicious. stobbe74 (655), Denmark Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black beer with a lightbrown head. The aroma is roasted and coffee. The flavor is coffee. The palate is roasted. Overall a good beer. dykhuis7 (9), New York, USA does not count Nov 2, 2009 Pours deep black with a dark caramel-brown head. There is so much going on here, it’s hard to get it all down. Roasted malt and roasted coffee aroma and flavor, but a hoppy bitterness that persists at the same time. A beautiful beer in the way it brings aromas and flavors from across the spectrum and balances them perfectly. Phenomenal. GranvilleTim (465), Granville, Illinois, USA Nov 1, 2009 Deep black pour with a huge brown head. The head seemed to defy gravity as it came out and over the top of the glass. Aroma was of roasted malt and hops. Taste is thick- roasted malt, almost a burnt malt flavor, some bitterness, a little coffee flavor also. Head lasted till the finish. Good lacing. zdk (180), New York, USA Oct 31, 2009 Bottle: what a huge beer. Big on flavor, arouma, bitterness. Has a large head. chocolate, roasted malts, java beans a little charcoal. Definitely not for the faint hearted. I really liked the first half then it got warmer and the bitterness started to take over everything.
It’s not my favorite style but this is a good representative. DuffManSW (283), Riverside, California, USA Oct 30, 2009 Bottled.. Pours black with a light brown head...Aroma is coco, roasted malts and coffee..Flavor is very roasty with a lot of hop bitterness.. Lots of carbonation.
