| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 17/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Draught @ Ølfestival Valby - CBF09, Copenhagen, Denmark. Unclear dark dark brown color with virtually none head, virtually none lacing, fully diminishing head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, burnt, chocolate, moderate hoppy, wood tart notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, and a peppery - alcoholic finish. Body is medium, texture is oily - sticky, carbonation is flat flat.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 1, 2009 Thick dark-greige head, disappearing over deep brown beer. Black chocolate with coffee dregs; café glacé cookies and old walnuts. Burnt, overroastded grains, torched coffeebeans; deep & long bitter finish. Bit of typical roasted barley sourness. Thick, viscous, as slobbering crude oil. A bit over the top, if I may say so - probably because it is rather unidimensional. Or too young. yngwie (5000), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 28, 2009 On tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival. A muddy brown beer without carbonation, and just some beige bubbles on top. It doesn’t look too good, but the rest of it is beyond decent. Roasted, burnt, more or less charcoal-like nose with alcohol, coffee and dark chocolate. There’s a sugary start on the flavor, with charcoal, coffee, alcohol and some chocolate blending in. Lasting finish with bitterness, roasted malts and some burnt notes. Flat, warming and full-bodied. Yet another well-tasting imperial stout from de Molen.

Sweet and malty nose. Taste of chocolate, malt and caramel. Very oily and smooth. A real delight. More ABV in the finish, but barely detectable. Warming finish. Another triumph from De Molen.
