faroeviking (4418), Faroese Autonomous Beer Republic, Denmark Mar 21, 2008 Bottled in 2007. Pours a pitch black colour with a big well lasting creamy brown head leaving a very nice lacing. Aroma of well roasted malt and pepper, nice dark chocolate and some alcohol. Very good mouthfeel. The flavour has a great soft roasted maltiness with black pepper, good roasty coffee, dark chocolate, bitter hops and a mild touch of alcohol. Long lasting roasty dark chocolate spiced finish. Lovely spiced Imp. Stout!
TikiE (353), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Oct 14, 2008 Bottled: a simply delicious imperial stout! Pours a dark color with a big tan head. Smells of roasted coffee beans and tastes of sweetly roasted malts and coffee, that lasts on the palate. A great beer! Collint (349), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Oct 14, 2008 Bottle, pours a black beer with a huge tan creamy head. Aroma is pure coffee, roast and chocolate. Flavor is a clean taste of coffee and sweet malt with complex notes of roast and a great smoothness. This is a very nice suprise from TikiE. Very simalar to the Wake & Bake, maybe better AmicusBeer (7), Toronto, Ontario, Canada does not count Oct 13, 2008 Think stong chocolate coffee aroma. Pours think with a nice head. Very stong coffee nose. Not a session beer. Great desert beer. Great match with chocolate. Strykzone (1021), Wood River, Illinois, USA Oct 12, 2008 A beautiful pour, it is black, thick, and substantial with a two toned head of tan and brown. Two fingers in size. Aroma is iced coffee with roasted notes, whiskey, and dark fruit. Flavor is delicious and complex. Strong coffee, dark chocolate, alcohol, raisins. Feel is smooth and powdery. Flavors welded together beautifully as temp rose. This beer is incredibly well crafted and is absolutely delicious. A world class effort. Jonte (403), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 12, 2008 Bottle. Black color with a lasting brown head. Aroma: Roastiness, espresso, a bit of sweetness and caramel. Flavor: Roastiness/bitterness, lots of coffee/espresso, some chocolate as well. The alcohol is mostly hidden. Creamy and dry mouthfeel. Very nice if you are a stout and coffee fan, but maybe a bit one-dimensional
