Hopper (271), San Antonio, Texas, USA Jun 25, 2009 Dark black with a massive 3 finger head that halfway dissipates.The aroma is of dark roasted malts. The taste is of slight coffee & chocolate but a very nice burnt taste. In fact I really like the burnt taste it has, it is very crisp, and leaves a nice l;acework on the glass. I really like this ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Jun 25, 2009 Black with a big and lasting tan head. Aroma is huge, of chocolate, citrus and pine hops, and malt, with a littl grainy note not quite suiting an imp stout. cprochak (388), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 25, 2009 Bottle from Bottleworks. Tasted blind with 14 others that day. Pours dark brown with a cream head and great lacing. Aroma of mild pine hops and dark roasted nuts. Sweet up front with a little bitter that works as a nice balance. Medium body and fizze with a bitter finish. Pipper (225), Ohio, USA Jun 22, 2009 Pours a very aggressive carbonated dark brown with a huge dark tan head. BItter hops and a little sour cheese/cherries in the nose. Hoppy and molasses flavor. Very decent lacing. Smooth mouthfeel and alcohol kick in the finish, coffee aftertaste. wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jun 22, 2009 Utobeer, London. This is probably one of the finest stouts I’ve had the pleasure of drinking. Just a perfect example of the style with all the ingredients working in perfect harmony. Incredibly well masked alcohol. Its all been said on here about how good this tastes, and this surely deserves its lofty status. A stunner, no doubt. syton98 (40), USA Jun 18, 2009 Pours think and rich with a tan head that is thin but last for a little while. Aroma is not over powerful nor does it give away the beers flavor. The flavor is very good like a well balanced coffee with hints of chocolate. The after taste is not bitter but leaves you wanting more. Over all a vert nice beer and one of the best stouts I’ve had. WesKBob (317), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Jun 18, 2009 Pours opaque black with a thin brown head. Aroma is roasted coffee malt with a hint of caramel and raisin sweetness. Flavor is a delicious mix of coffee, chocolate and caramel. A good amount of earthy hop bitterness in the finish. Sharp aftertaste with moderate alcohol burn, but very smooth considering the ABV. An excellent beer all the way around.
