Aug 5, 2005 22 oz bottle dated Nov 2004. Thanks to Drunk as a Skunk for sharing it with me. Eclipse black color. Large foamy tan head. Aroma is roasting coffee, coffee beans and vanilla. A full bodied Imperial Stout. Malts are roasted barley, coffee, chocolate, vanilla and coffee beans. Smooth flavor. Lots of coffee flavors. Hints of cheery and vanilla. Mostly coffee. Very good beer, but way too one-dimensional towards the coffee. Hides the 9.5% alcohol very well. Smooth and silky taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and coffee beans.

Sep 20, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy fine to large sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a opaque no visible carbonation dark black brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was brown malt coffee and dark malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start with a strong hop coffee bite. It finished with a mellow lingering dark brown malt coffee aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of dark brown malt hops and coffee. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Bottle. Courtesy of Morten from Danish Beerhouse [Amager – Mikkeller Brew session @ Amager Bryghus] Average fine creamy beige head that mostly diminished. Pitch black colour. Good display of lacework. Fantastic aroma of liquorish, coffee, dark chocolate, hint of alcohol, berries. Over the palate burned malt, hint of hops. Very full bodied with a soft carbonation and somewhat thick texture. Moderated bitter flavour with good counter sweetness. Heavy lingering bitter and surprisingly hoppy at the very end. I could feel the hops on the gums… he he. 8 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 17 = 4.2

May 15, 2008 (Bottled) Almost black with a small, lacy and beige head. Extremely strong ashtray aroma with some licorice, but no alcohol. Burned-malty, very ashy flavor with tar, seaweed, and an ashy-sticky barley wine finish. Quite full-bodied, smooth-carbonated palate. It is strange how a beer so ashy can actually be this pleasant. Beautifully crafted!

Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Oct 26, 200922oz bottle/draft/12oz bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Aroma is loads of coffee, chocolate, some etoh. The flavor is incredibly well blended coffee and some smoke with a good roasted but creamy flavor of chocolate. I love this time after time. 4.3
After having the 04 vintage at the 10th anniversary party and IMO the f’in stand out beer of the party i have to bump this a few points, this beer is truely phenominal when served in this manner. The fresh 12oz bottles cant stand up to the aging process. Awesome! 4.6
