Dec 11, 2003 Dark and murky. Intrigiung nose, a bit burnt, lots of espresso. Taste is harsh, smoky burnt wood with a bit of odd spiciness. Finishes sweet. Smooth. Lacks a good finish, starts well, then fades a bit.

Dec 8, 2003 Aroma: coco, chocolate malts, and a hint of flowers
Appearance: thick, dark/chocolate brown
Flavor: Interesting, it was both dry, chocolately, and hoppy. Couldn't tell if it was trying to be a dark ale (like a stout or porter) or an ipa.
Palate: smooth and slightly dry
Overall, think the beer is ok; interesting nonetheless.

Dec 8, 2003 Black brew. Only when held up to bright light is its burnt orange color revealed. Small, creamy, khaki-colored head.
The aroma is of smoke, chocolate, toffee and used coffee grounds.
More smoke, espresso and dark chocolate in the flavor.
Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Lengthy, bittersweet finish.

Dec 8, 2003 Soft, mild vegetable aroma mixed with smoke and some mild spices. Smoky and creamy flavors with a dry mouthfeel. Spiced and roasted coffee flavors are big, with a larger alcohol presence evident as it warms.

Dec 7, 2003 Very dark with a small tan head. Massive chocolate sweetness with some slight spice. Lots of bitter chocolate up front, but the flavors stall and the beer does not quite finish up. Medium body.

Dec 7, 2003 Updated: Mar 3, 2004Chimay goblet: Black with a medium tan/grey head.Lasting ring,light lace. Roasty,caramel,fruity-malt,vanilla aromas. I like these clean,malt,aromas in Imperials. Similar to the Czar,not as complex though. Fizzy,creamy mouthfeel.Full body,slightly watery texture.Starts with dark fruit,mocha. Chewy chocolate,burnt caramel flavors. Finish is roasty as hell,very lingering,with some burnt malt. Finish has some hop presence,but very tastefully done. My mouth is off tonight,so I'll probably have to re-rate,but I like this easy drinking,creamy,Imperial. Thanks BBB63!
