It’s aroma is amazing with tons of caramel and toffee notes, just as the description states. The flavor completely and obediently follows suit, with a huge caramel note and chocolate on the finish. I would say this is my new favorite stout for the time being. Cheers!! alagnak (324), Littleton, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 5, 2009 Pours like motor oil, just looks awesome. Really bright, bitter chocolate and roasty flavor. Something different and "herbaceous" in there too...want to say mint, but that’s not it. Interesting differentiator. Hops come through later and tie it all together. Really nice beer. bigwilliestyel (8), Virginia, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 5, 2009 This is another great IMP stout. While I haven’t tried its big brother yet I’m sure it is just as great. This beer is dark, thick and is a beer to enjoy. It tastes of coffee, dark chocolate and slightly bitter. The hops are definitely underplayed which can be nice. Highly recommend this beer and will always try to keep it on hand. MJGG (403), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 4, 2009 Verre de 4 oz, d’une bouteille, au Mondial 2009. Arômes de chocolat et de houblon résineux. Robe noire opaque, belle mousse mocha qui tient bien et effervescence assez faible. Très ronde et maltée, le malt chocolat et des touches de mélasse accompagnent un houblon résineux très présent et intense. Finale amère de houblon et de torréfaction. Une excellente et intense Imperial Stout. viet959 (70), , Georgia, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Bottled 355ml. It pours a pitch black beer with a smallish creamy cappucino head. Strong, deeply inviting aroma of bittering hops, coffee, dark chocolate, mango, plums and licorice all-sorts. Complex taste with a bitterness which is quite present. A lot of mango showing up again which is accompanied by coffee, licorice and nougat. Full bodied with a creamy palate. Peppery. Wonderful long bitter finish which is reminiscent of plums, dark chocolate, coffee, grapefruit, heather and sage. Flawless. jumpjet2k (143), Austin, Texas, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 23, 2009 Bottle. Lovely inky black color with a nice chocolaty brown head that sticks around for quite a while. Tons of chocolate and coffee along with some grain in the aroma. The chocolate and coffee flavors transform into rich toffee maltiness, finished by a pleasant bit of hops in a chocolate-covered orange sort of way. Viscous and thick, rolls very pleasantly across the tongue.
