| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 8, 2008 Dark brown. Some thin coffee aroma. Decent body with some thick and slightly toffeeish character. Decent balance but a thin finish. A rare disappointment. Maria (6265), Thisted, Denmark

The flavour has a light sweetness, roasted malt, licorice, chocolate, light dark fruits and a slightly roasted bitterness. It is very nice and very harmonic! bu11zeye (5510), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 25, 2008 Pours a mostly opaque oily dark mahogany with a thin, wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty malty notes with a touch of drier, earthy roasty character. Body starts a little thin for an imperial stout with some mild sweetness and drier, earthy, toasty character before a dry, grainy finish. Needs more fullness and complexity. hopscotch (5493), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
