| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Pours dark black with a very small tan head. Aroma is very roasted with a great prune fruitiness. This beer has a great flavor. Starts off sweet prune with a very slight molasses and alcohol flavor moving into a great bitter coffee finish with a slight smokey hint. The great coffee flavor really sticks around and reminds you for minutes after your done of how great this beer tastes. Praetorian (86), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 6, 2008 Black in color with a small, light brown head which quickly deminished. Little if any lacing. The aroma is of strong black coffee, hops, alcohol, oak and molasses. The flavor is of coffee grounds, dark fruits and oak with a strong alcohol backbone. The texture is syrupy with lively carbonation. I’d say its a wonderful stout with an aggressive and complex flavor. The only let down was the texture, otherwise, its superb. A DAMN GOOD BEER! ironchefscott (342), portland, Oregon, USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 4, 2008 From the brewery. Deep black body with a little more than a finger of creamy head. Wonderful sweet hops up front followed by a dark chocolate malt scent. Taken in small sips its sweet and fruity, then bitter dark chocolate. Taken in larger drafts much more complexity. Still sweet and fruity but incredible roast chocolate malt, caramel, coffee, smokey. Dry finish with notable hop bitterness. Wonderful Beer. flatmatt (222), Northville, Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours black with a medium-large tan head. Dark chocolate and slightly dark fruit aromas, a bit of alcohol, and light coffee. Flavor is a pretty solid roasty coffee and chocolate, smokey, plus a distinct resinous hop presence. Good lacing down the glass. A very nice imperial stout. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA

It was so refreshing, which is a first for a Imperial Stout for me. Pretty damn good. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate, some dark fruits, and a very, very bitter finish but it’s beautiful. angrypirate06 (709), Texas, USA

Taste is a nice mixture of floral hops, coffee, and heavily roasted malts. A very enjoyable impy stout.
