The beer pours to a dark cola colored body with a a thin light tan head. The aroma is chocolate, grains, organic aromas. The flavor is chocolate, organic-like grains, malty, stout. The palate is sweet and malty with a dry astringent roast. A nice beer, but nothing unique. Ughsmash (3999), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 4, 2007 Bottled, rating # 100, thanks to sk8viking! Poured medium-deep brown with a short cap of looser-beige head, but it didn’t stick around for a while. The aroma picked up sweet and darker chocolates.. lots of nice maltage, but nothing indicating "imperial". The flavor was of softer, well-roasted darker chocolates and mild coffee with a mild herbal bitterness.. left herbal and chocolate notes at a longer finish.. again not too complex, but nice. Medium-bodied, not too complex, and warm on the palate.. not bad overall, but nothing groundbreaking.

Good roasted taste with apleasant amount of hops. Some leather notes (typical wintercoat) but I can overcome it in this one. Nice! stouby (1937), Holbaek, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jul 18, 2007 550. Thanks, TheWolf! Pours deep opaque black with a thinnish but moussy dark tan head. Enormous explosion of chocolate and cherries on the nose. Big tingly carb in the attack, along with a nice creamy mouthfeel and very forward, sweet, roasty flavors. This is a nice one, a little tiny bit off the beaten imperial path. Finishes with some roast and sweet cling, not a lot of hop bitterness. Good stuff.
