| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 29, 2009 22 ounce bottle purchased at Manor Market in Bishop, CA. Aroma is a bit roasted with some cardboard hints and a light choco sweetness present. A little ethanol present, or perhaps it is some metallic hoppiness? Moderately transparent mahogany color with a ruby twinge present. Medium, fair tan head that leaves good lacing. Not dark enough for my liking. Starts pretty roasted with some harsh, burnt choco flavors in the middle. Warming ethanol later on. Finishes a bit dry. Pretty brash, and rough around the edges. omhper (12179), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Very dark brown, minimal head. Powerful coffee aroma. Mid-sweet with streamlined malt profile. The alcohol is well hidden, the bitterness steadily ramped up into the resiny coffeeish finish. A competent, notoverly intrusive imperial stout. joergen (8539), Frederiksberg, Denmark
