tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Jun 5, 2008 0,66 l bottle, at Hopheads tasting at Roger´s place. Color is black, head is brown. Lovely aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor is is the same, with hops. Dry finish. Very balanced and complex imperial stout. JK54B (913), Helsinki, Finland Jun 4, 2008 A dark black beer. Pale brown fast dissapearing head. A flowery hoppness. Also some grass in the taste. Tasted at Pikkulintu 04.06-08 Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA May 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours motor oil black with 2 finger brown head. Nose is molasses, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans and alcohol. Palate is creamy with brown sugar, caramel malt, roasted barley, cocoa and coffee. Slight hop bite in the finish. Great stout – just as good as the Oaked version. buzzoven (333), Japan May 31, 2008 Huge chocolate smells..bitter roasted malty sweet flavour. slightly oily palete but full bodied. Very nice...I actually prefer this one to the oak aged Yeti. AR (417), Georgia, USA May 30, 2008 Very black with a brown head. The beer has a strong aroma. The flavor is a dark chocolate / roasted coffee mix. Full-bodied. Ansset13 (127), Wilmington, North Carolina, USA May 30, 2008 The Pour is a deep brown to almost black with an ample tan head. The nose is a well balanced mix of maple sugar, molasses, bitter dark chocolate and malt. The flavor is heavenly and follows that of the nose, making this a perfectly balanced imperial stout, and a good measuring stick for any other in its class to live up to.
daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA May 29, 2008 stellar imp. for a beer brewed on a pretty large scale this one is a winner. smells of cane syrup and brown sugar. good residual sweetness with a fair amount of bitter balance. this is really damn good. soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA May 29, 2008 Bottle: Pours a black color with a huge tan head. Nice molasses type aroma. Taste has a wonderful sweetness, but not over the top like I thought the Oak Aged version was, with the stout bitterness. This is a wonderful beer.
