Jun 19, 2009 Black with a brownish head. Nice roasted aroma with loads of chocolate/cocoa. Starts out sweet, again chocolate-like, and then finishes nicely bitter. A very nice experience.

Jun 5, 2009 Draft at Rustico in Alexandria VA. Pours a deep dark black with a small brown head that dissipates. Aroma is dark roasted malts, with a touch of sweetness. Flavor is roasted coffee, malts, element of sweets and some smoke. Pretty well refined, smooth and easy to drink - alcohol content packs a punch but is not noticeable.

May 29, 2009 Cask at the Copenhagen beer festival. Poured black with a small brown head. Aroma consisted of dark roasted notes. Flavor was dark with roasted coffee flavor. Lacking something a quite conservative for me.

Nov 2, 2008 Picked this bottle up in Denmark, Sept’ 08 Pours black with beige head, big roasted and burnt malts dominate the nose with just a slight element of sourness. Sweeter in the mouth than expected, but roasted malts again and some light smokiness, bit of coffee and liquorice.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottled (8% ABV). The body is blacka s coal with a medium sized and persistent and almost creamy brown head. Very nice appearence and so id the aroma that has a medium maltiness, with some roastiness and notes of coffee, chocolate and some berries and smoke. Complex nose, maybe slightly less powerful for the style, but far from weak.The flavour has a medium sweetness and you are hit by the roasted malts that are quite strong. Some smoke too and the usual notes of coffee, chocolate and licorice. Medium body and not much more, soft/average carbonation, medium/long finish with medium bitterness. Lightly alcoholic. Tasty and drinkable imperial stout.
