3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Beautiful appearence. Flavor is the same as the the raspberry stout without the fruityness. Good flavor choclatey undertones.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a jet black color with a small tan head that does not linger. The aroma is strongly smokey with roasted malts. Medium bodied with low carbonation, the flavor is mostly roasted malts and hints of coffee, with a lingering burnt finish. Not as complex as my favorite imperial stouts, but quite good and highly drinkable.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nearly black appearance, with a dark tan, moderate head. The aroma is of bitter-sweet chocolate, which is also a major aspect of the flavor. There are also flavors of lighty sweetened coffee and even some fruit (dates, plums), but not much. The body is a little thin, and the flavor is not quite as complex as most of my favorite imperial stouts, but this is still very good. It tastes pretty much just like their raspberry imperial stout, just without the raspberries, which, for me, is a good thing.

Aroma is strong, of chocolate and coffee. The is a smooth stout, rather good and full-bodied. The alcohol is not very prominent, so this beer is very easy to drink. Thick black opaque color and tan head, as all good Imperial Stout's have.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Opaque with only a hint of chestnut around the edge when held to the light. tan head that subsides to a small covering. Dark chocolate, Sweet coffee and a touch of lactos in the aroma. Light oily/silky body. Dark rich chocolate and burnt toast flavors. Very sharp acidic bitterness in the finish takes away from the overall enjoyability. A bit more like a baltic porter. The EToh is very well hidden

Very good imperial stout from Weyerbacher. Full bodied and thick tasting. Roasted malts, rich coffee and an bitterness not unlike unsweetened chocolate.

This poured in the glass like motor oil. Creamy malt, roasted coffee, and raisin flavor. Well hidden abv. Recommended
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Absolutely NO head on this cola colored beer. Very plush aromas of coffee, roasted grain and bitter chocolate. Nice. Thick and viscous in the mouth with burnt coffee and sweet chocolate dominating the flavor profile. Very sweet. Pretty good all around.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 8, 2003 Alcohol dominates the aroma and aftertaste. Head disappears fast - looks like flat cola after a few minutes. Flavor OK - I detect something burnt in it. Better as it warms. I usually stay away from imperial stouts but this one was very good.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2003 im not sure what happened to others but this beer poured a super thick and bubbly head for me..the color beneath was as black as could be..the aroma was an interesting mixture of milk chocolate, tart raisin, sea salt, kalamata olive, carmel, roasted malts, and maybe a tad of lactose sourness...semi-high carbination, very chocolatey and sweet yet bitter at the same time..raisin notes noticed too..the mouthfeel might not be as heavy as some imperial stouts..but the flavors are definitely not lacking..almost like a creamy chocolate mouse it clings to the back of the tongue with subtle yet tasty bitter chocolate...my only real complaint is that there is too much carbination
