May 25, 2009 Bottle shared by DuffmanSW while helping JoeTheYounger move. Pours pitch black with an orangeish brown head. Arioma is chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, some old hops and a decent amount of booze. Flavor is very oaky, vanilla, espresso, roasty and even a little burnt toast. finishes dry and has a good amount of hop bitterness. Creamy and thick with low carbonation.

May 24, 2009 Updated: Jul 29, 2009Overall a good imperial stout, smoother than its regular offering. Decent Imperial stout that doesn’t have any lasting impressions making it more memorable compared to others.

May 23, 2009 220z bottle compliments of DuffmanSW, shared with mspindler. Solid 1 inch thick head. Hop aroma. Black as an asshole. Spicy hoppy flavor. You can taste the oak that it was aged in.

May 22, 2009 Opaque black on the pour with dark brown head that retians well and leaves nice lace. Nose is rich with nougat and dark chocolate. Palate is big on roasty/chocolatey flavors, with a citrusy hop flavor that cuts through the roasty flavors too much for me. I don’t like fruit in my chocolate desserts - just give me the chocolate, fudge, whatever. Here the citrusy hops come through too much and influence the overall flavor away from being a sweet dessert stout.

May 22, 2009 black with a thick tan head. Aroma is hoppy, chocolate and coffee are also present. Hops, coffee, chocolate, toffee, and vanilla. I was expecting a tad more oak presence. Very creamy, slightly carbonated. Very nice.

May 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 8, 2009Pours jet black. Very aggressive pour gives 1.5 fingers of very creamy, dark tan head. Very unusual amount of head for an imp stout. Aroma of dark cherries, semi sweet chocolate, coffee, very slight hint of hop. Flavor has strong coffee personality. Good chocolate foundation and malty goodness and vanilla. Bitter finish of the hops brings it home. Much more hoppy then most imps. Great mouth feel. Very thick and coats as an imp should. A little rough around the edges. Slightly too hoppy for me as I like my imps a little more tame on the finish. All in all, delicious brew!

May 17, 2009 Rating # 3 from the danish beer festival 2009.
Looking back now, this was the best of the evening!
Rich and complex aroma of mild sweet chocolate, some fruity vinouse esters along with cofee andenglish liqurice. Incredible smooth palate soft with an exploding smoothness. Lots of sweet notes, chocolate mainly mixed with bitter hops that are felt in the flavor. Looking forward to a full bottle someday!
