The aroma is powerful and very sweet with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, and yeast. The color is pitch black and it has a beutiful long lasting chocolate brown head. The flavor is sweet malt but with a bite from the roasted malt which gives way to sweet chocolate rolling over the tongue together with hints of licorice. In the end the chocolate gives way to a very dry and rather bitter sensation on the tongue. A great beer with great complexity. This is even better than I remembered.

Aug 28, 2008 Pours inky dark brown with a large tan head that lasts forever. Nose is dates, black currant, smoky wood. Flavor is dry, fruity, and more smoky undertones. Ends dry and clean. Very good.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours black with a very large tan head. Very fruity aroma and fairly fruity taste. I am not a big fan of Belgian stouts, but this was not bad. However, I would not get this one again.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Complex Aroma of winelike fruits. Flavor of sweet fruits, earthy fruit, some growing roast, bittersweet fruit finish. Light bodied for the style, whether you call it imperial stout, foreign stout, whatever. Dry throughout. Very interesting and a bit odd, I’d categorize it as a Belgian Strong and maybe even an oddball barleywine before really putting the stout label on it. Unique and interesting again, but not really in a way that has me clamoring for more.

Aug 17, 2008 The head has a very nice chocolate taste as the beer itself is more bitter. The whole aroma is less complex I expected, the rosted malt flavour is mostly present. A nice experience anyway.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a thick light tan head. Aroma of sweet fig, vanilla, chocolate. Flavor is super sweet! Some burnt caramel, roast, general sweetness. Kind of weird tasting though. It’s not an imperial stout and it didn’t really taste like other Belgian stouts I’ve had. Just an odd beer that I wasn’t impressed by.
