raiderfost (144), virginia beach, Virginia, USA May 15, 2008 Pours very black with a thick brown head. Dark chocolate aroma. Much sweeter that most imperial stouts ive had.Nice bit of hoppiness in the finish. Alcohol is obvious. Great brew. Imperial-John (63), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada May 14, 2008 Black with deep espresso head that coats glass as you drink. Roasted dark chocolate aroma. Smooth roasted vanilla chocolate malt milkshake. with an oak whiskey edge. It’s so smooth you forget the alcohol except for the fact that it warms you up. How does such a smooth stout maintain its edge like this one does. Smooth after-taste leaves you wanting more and more. texasbartender (61), Sugarland, Texas, USA May 14, 2008 The beer pour a coal black with a brown/white head. The nose is an earthy mix of roasted malts, chocolate with a hint of wood. The flavor is sweet and smooth with a nice mix of chocolate, hops and just a hint of oak. It is a good beer but didn’t live up to the hype. minch25 (154), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 13, 2008 ar: crystal malt.
fl: more crystal; leafy, herbaceous, soapy hops. grapefruit; licorice; not so much oak for an oak aged beer.. While there’s nothing wrong with this beer, I’m still a little surprised at all the stellar ratings. MissDolle (15), Odense, Denmark May 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours pitch black with a creamy lasting head. Wauw! Lots of hops, vanilla, oak, chocolate, coffee. Thick, smooth, filling palate. Simply amazing!
