mhelgason (421), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Feb 21, 2007 Bottle. Opaque-black color with almost no head (light outline of off-white head). Aroma of bready toasted malts and some chocolates. Flavor of burnt malts initially then the flavor mellows and some coffeeness seeps through. Good lingering aftertaste that is also of toasted malts, coffee, and chocolates. Easy drinking imperial stout
kopher (112), USA Sep 5, 2008 Pours very dark thick brown, lots of light-brown head. Very nutty, roasty aroma, with tons of green olives and earthy hops at the end. Taste is sweet at the front, surprisingly sharply bitter at the finish. Lots of chocolate, but the lasting finish is hops. Mouthfeel is surprisingly light for a stout, a bit dry, but good.
Whiskeyjack (2), , Massachusetts, USA does not count Sep 4, 2008 Pleasant mild aroma with a note of fruitiness. Pours with an awesome, full, brown head that leaves a pretty lace pattern to the glass. The beer itself is practically opaque, as black as night, The flavour is fantasticly balanced between bitterness and sweetness. There are tastes of smoke and a dark chocolate present. The beer tastes great & has a full body with a creamy testure. mekju_baksa (9), Houston, Texas, USA does not count Sep 4, 2008 On Tap in snifter. Really fricking good. Rich and deep flavors that are subtle. Roasted malt complexity that demands attention. Just incredibly great! NDbeerdrinker (52), North Carolina, USA Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown, almost black, with a 2 finger reddish cream head. Aroma is strong, hoppy and roasted malts. Taste is absolutely wonderful. Not overpowering, but strong. Just as it says, has the roasted malt flavors of chocolate and coffee but nice balance with hops that are still able to stand out. Definitely will drink this again. SHANER4 (208), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Aug 30, 2008 Poured a murky dark color with thick tan head. Aroma is rich roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is bitter and has smokey chocolate taste. This is an excellent stout, nice and balanced and easy to drink for having a high ABV.
