| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours like black coffee with small brown head that seems to last for quite a while. Aroma is of chocolate and of bitter hops. Flavor starts out rich from the very beginning and stays rich. It is a pleasant mixture of hops, coffee, and chocolate that changes nuance with time. Finish is of hops and very long lasting. Overall, a very drinkable and full bodied brew. fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Aroma started off as alcoholic raisin (overwhelmingly) with a nice hop background, but as time went on, chocolate popped up, and as more time went on coffee popped up, as both took their appropriate spots without making much of a fuss. Flavor was much more balanced from the beginning, with (non-alcoholic) raisin, prune, maybe even cherry, chocolate, tons of roasted malt, and still a nice hop background that let the malt do the talking but played its role nicely. Also a very drinkable imperial stout I found. Great great stuff. LilBeerDoctor (1489), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Bottle (probably was sitting around for awhile). Pours dark black with a beautiful thick light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, hops. I loved the hop profile of this beer! Flavor of hops, roasted malt. Mouthfeel was a little less rich and dense compared to the Oaked Yeti. Yum!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with dark brown head. Aroma is roasty and smokey. I found this beer to be a bit one dimensional and a bit thin/watery. I drank this after I had an expedition stout and it just seemed like a much less substantial beer. It’s good,but I wasn’t impressed. sfhodense (554), Odense NØ, Denmark
