Black look with a fine brown head. Sweet malty aroma with some roasted coffee. Very smooth palate for an imp stout. Well rounded malty chocolate and coffee notes with a fine touch of tarry smoke. Good one! Defreni (999), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 17, 2009 Flaske: Kulsrot øl med et brunt skum. Sød duft af malt, ikke særlig brændt. Fantastisk drikbar og helt sikkert en der gerne måtte komme i de danske butikker. bierslaaf (33), Cape Town, South Africa
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 16, 2009 Pitch balck with a thick brown head. Maybe due to the fact that I knocked it on the table while opening and got a stout fountain resulting in stout all over including a generous amount in the toaster. Roasty malt and flowers in the aroma. Good carbonation (I like carbonation in a stout). Amazing that hops can match the powerful roasted malt. Lasting floral finish. This is an amasing complex stout.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 13, 2009 12 oz bottle from Belmont Party Supply in Dayton, OH. This is one ferocious looking brew. Opaque black with a cascading dark brown head. This IS has a chocolate aroma and a sticky thick body exploding with roasted malts and finishes dry with alcohol warmth. Has hints of coffee and malty sweetness. A very satisfying beer. hayduke (1629), Eureka, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle courtesy of a trade with Erik in Indiana this poured a jet black with a very thick and rich tan head and excellent lacing. Big nose of roasted malts with coffee, chocolate, along with floral hops. Mouthfeel is rich and creamy and quite smooth. Flavor is rich as well with a ripe fruit in the roasted malts and hops. A very tasty imperial stout. beerandIT (182), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 11, 2009 Pours black with a small amount of head. Coffee, chocolate, roasted malts and toffee on the nose. Full bodied and leads me to think it will age well. Chocolate on the palate along with malts, coffee and toffee in there as well. Enjoy this one a lot and is widely available. Lacing the glass very well also. harrisoni (6770), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Thick black, big tan head. Like a big ginger hop thing on the aroma, with lots and lots of intense dark roasted malts. Lots of choc and espresso coffee. Reminds me of ginger biscuits covered in thick dark black bitter choc. Good smoothness in the mouth. Finish has more ginger. Yes, it is quite drinkable, only slightly on the boozy side on the finish. But is doesn’t have a great deal of complexity or distinctive character. Very good choc and espresso. Good straight up intensity.
