msante79 (778), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Apr 21, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours black with atan head. Aroma of Burnt malt, hops and coffee. Flavor is burnt malt, coffee, hints of chocolate and a big hop flavor. Good stuff. urraca (44), New Jersey, USA Apr 20, 2008 Been searching for this beer for a while, and finally found it later in the season. One of my first imperial stouts. I’m not one for a hoppy beer, but this is just delicious, very complex and smooth. Such a deep ocean color and very drinkable. mpjake (6), Summerville, South Carolina, USA does not count Apr 17, 2008 Draft pour. Deep black with a slightly frothy head. Sticky. Really sticky--rubbed my fingers together and it damn near turned to glue. Very strong dandelion flavor. Overly roasty and bitter. southamptonsam (81), New York, USA Apr 15, 2008 This used to be one of my favorite everyday beers then it stopped finding its way into my fridge. Having had many many great stouts since, this one rates with the best of them. It is classic, no flavors or extra sweetness. Beautiful. MuttyD (93), Cambridge, USA Apr 14, 2008 Updated: Jul 14, 2008Strong coffee/chocolate nose. Roasted malts and sweet to the palate. Strong bitter finish. Pours black as night and thick creamy head. The beer that turned me on to beer tasting. MrRain (415), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Apr 14, 2008 12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. VSKIS pours inky black and thick like old engine oil. The head is smallish and brown. The nose is full of roasted malts, chocolate and lots of hops. The flavor is full of the same things as the aroma plus a nice alcohol burn to round out the complexity. The body is thick and chewy but a little lighter than a typical stout. The finish is roasty and lingers. This is an excellent imperial stout. Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark Apr 13, 2008 Deep black of color with a beige head. An aroma with liqurice, hops choco and sweets. A flavor of liqurice and sweets. kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Apr 12, 2008 The head is full and creamy. This stout is misleading as it drinks more like a black IPA. It definitely taste s you by storm with its coffee/malt balance.
