| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Big thanks to Ken for sharing this bottle! Pours black with a light tan head. Smell is roasty malt and light alcohol. Taste is cocoa with sweetness and dark chocolate. Somewhat dry finish. Medium to thin body for an imperial stout, I thought and a touch more carbonated than ideal, but not too distracting. Perhaps this is from the champagne yeast used. Definitely enjoyable, but a touch sweeter and thinner bodied than I was hoping for. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA
