Sep 10, 2006 Updated: Jan 2, 2007I’ve got a pile of these in the basement and, to my surprise, I hadn’t yet rated the Old Heathen. Bottle pours nice and dark with a pleasant coffee-dark chocolate aroma. Taste of coffee, chocolate, and sweet malt with a nice finish. Tastes alot better at 50degrees+.

Sep 6, 2006 Pouring this beer was almost shocking as it looked and moved like motor oil. Pitch black with a thick chocolately biege head. Complex roasted aroma. Deep roasted malt flavor with a bitter pleasant finish which seems to linger. Feels like the beer sits in your mouth.

Aug 27, 2006 Bottle ... poured like dirty motor oil with a frothy, creamy tan head. Extreme aroma of whisky, smoke and roast malt. The drink is almost fruity ... smashed berries on burnt toast, like. Dry tart finish. Light body.

Aug 25, 2006 Black as night with a khaki, thick foamy head. A very strong odor of alcohol and heavy notes of plums and raisins. Thick, malty, roasted flavor with a raisin aftertone. Not to shabby this one. Ends with a mild warming sensation.

Aug 22, 2006 Updated: Sep 10, 2006Beautiful pour, opaque black with a very latent tan head... quickly diminishing. The aromas are initially powerful, mostly effervescent roasted coffee beans, choco malts and syrupy dark fruit resinous juices. The flavors don’t remind me of an Imp Stout, rather a very good normal stout. The malts, which are roasted, smoky and pleasant, aren’t overly exert, and the bitterness doesn’t bring the cream contingency past a carbonated mouthfeel. There is a sour raisin-prune aftereffect, and slight smoked bitters.... Nothing truly imperial, per se, but a darn good brew nonetheless.
