No marks at the top and 7.7%.<br /> 2007 vintage: Maniacs asked for a thicker version. Here it is.

Pours black with a large brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malts, dark fruits medium carbonation, and alcoholic aftertaste. A lot of roasted malts combined with alcohol creates an overpowering taste -Tyler

With great thanks to Blankboy a nice 2005B bottle. Jet black body with a chocolate mousse head. Beautiful. Aroma: Delicious fudge with chocolate, malt, creamy, slight alcohol, nutty and a smashing maltiness too. Flavour: Wow, bitter nuts, hops, malt, a lot of dryness and a bitter cream finish. Lovely.

Perhaps 2007 Vintage, Showing 7.9% abv:
As soon as opening the bottle, a ton of carbonation comes out - fills the glass with head. Deep pitch black coloured body with a dense large brown coloured head. Aroma of grapes, yeast, bread, chocolate, cherries and a bit of a lactic character. Full-bodied; Assertive fake sugar flavour up front with a cherry and grape sweetness, fading to a creamy and almost milky taste. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, a ton of yeast and a lot of roasty flavours - but the coffee and chocolate comes out the most. Overall, a good and strong imperial stout - but perhaps a bit too sweet and yeastie for me. I sampled this 341 mL bottle purchased from Depanneur Peluso (Bonisoir) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 09-April-2009, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 05-September-2009.

341 ml bottle, on sale at Marche Jovi, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. Can’t be sure, but suspect this is from 2006.

App.: Deep brown-black and a decent mocha head. Aroma: Lots of delicious black licorice and molasses, some dark chocolate and coconut/vanilla, light tang, milk chocolate, very rich and inviting. Palate: Medium+ body, moderately soft effervescence. Flav.: Unfortunately, this must be past its prime, there is a little of the nose, but lots of tangy organic acids have taken over, still a bit of molasses and licorice, but the more inviting chocolate and vanilla notes are gone; dry with a good deal of unpleasant sourness and a touch bitterness.

I certainly have to get some fresh product.

Oh my god I could smell this all day! Cocoa, coconut, licorice, brownies, and some roasted choc malt. Incredible! The flavout is thick and satisfying, just an overload of roasted sweet buttery chocolate notes! Wow the look of this beer also rivals any American impy stout. Honestly I never thought an 8% impy would live up to the hype but man it sure does!

Black; big brown tan head. Quite sweet aroma - chocolate, coconut, licorice?; rather exotic, I can’t say I ever smelled an imperial stout like this. Flavor follows aroma. Higher than usual carbonation; some foam in the mouth. Tasty, interesting, would be better with the carbonation toned down a little.
