Habja dús világosbarna,olyan mint a "Négercsók" belseje és elég kitartó.Illata mint egy Burley típusú dohányé,forró csokoládéval keveredve.Íze étcsokoládés,pörkölt kávémagos,komlós és picit meggylikőrös.Szinte harapni lehet,olyan testes,olajos.Utóíze erős kubai szivarfüstös,csípős és kiszárítja az egész szájat.Egy nagy vacsora előtt étvágygerjesztőnek,vagy egy nagyon magas kakaó tartalmú csokoládés sütemény mellé kísérőnek tudnám elképzelni.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a soap sudsy tan head that sticks around for a while. Aroma is has a strong molasses note, chocolate malt, light dark roasted character, light citrus hops note and some sweet prune fruitiness. Flavor starts with a chocolate note, moves into a slight citrus bite, low bitter roasted malt bite and finishes with a smooth dark fruit note melded with some dark chocolate. Body is light but has a very creamy texture and the lacing coats the glass very heavily with a tan film. Overall a great brew with an overall smooth palate and a nicely hidden alcohol strength. pivnizub (5002), Bochum, Porúří, Germany
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Bottle: EXtremely dark ruby-amber coloured, small - but stable - tanned foamy layer; solid dry aromas of roasted malt & molasses on one dide, balanced by sweet dried fruits on the other side; full bodied, mellow instead of merciless, moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour; increasing bitterness in the robust sweet (fruity) - bitter (roasted malt, molasses) finish, lingering dry malty bitterness in the aftertaste. Good chunky brew............... armando629 (975), Budapest, Hungary
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Deep brown body with a fine creamy beige head what never disappears fully. Fine aroma opens with roasted grains and coffee, after a while comes some fine spicies like vanilla, dark chocolate and a moderated hop. Rich body and oily texture, fine roasted grains and dark chocolate in the flavor. Mild fruitiness and bitterness with a light caramel and dark chocolate. Long roasted aftertaste. Nice stout!!! spkevin (59), Doetinchem, Netherlands
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 bottle from Berts Bierhuis Utrecht. Pours a dark beer with a decent, brownish head. Hints of roasted malts and coffee in the aroma. Taste is also roasted malts and coffee. Bitter with an strong aftertaste. Very good Imperial Stout. Like to try this one, or other beers by BrewDog, again! manuchampions (103), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 31, 2009 12oz bottle from 16th St. Liquor. Pours a murky coffee brown with thin head than vanishes quickly leaving only a ring of lacing. Aroma is viscous and inviting with treacle like malt and some caramel. Taste is less complex than promised by the nose with slightly smoky coffee notes and more caramel. Alcohol is reasonably integrated and the overall impression is positive but not overwhelming. Imperial stouts are tough because there are so many excellent examples available...makes it harder to give this any higher than a 4. judasbeer (242), Budapest, Hungary
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 31, 2009 330 ml Bottle. Dark brown color with ruby some ruby highlight. Medium sized, creamy brown head with good retention.
Aroma of dark grapes, black currant with some smooth roasted or slightly smokey edge. The first impression is a very vinous,
port-like chacacter. After then it shows up its roasted, dry, coffee/cocoa bean character. The aftertaste seemed really smokey to me.
The alcohol is well-hidden, the body is a bit light for the style, the texture is also a bit watery.
But i have no reason to complain, it was a very tasty imperial-stout. jujubeast6000 (777), Houston, Texas, USA
