Charcoal aroma with some tea and chocolate as well as chicory. Super-creamy silky mouthfeel! Flavors are all about coffee. Nuanced, lingering bitter aftertaste has some licorice too. Enchanting, sublime, smooth, intriguing, dark, and and sexy. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Updated: Jan 7, 200922oz. bottle last night. WOW! Firstly, I can’t believe I found this beer in my hometown, and, furthermore, that it was at a party super-store and was covered in dust. So I came home, dusted it off and cracked it open. Intoxicating, sticky rich aroma of chocolate, molasses, hints of hops, malty sweetness, coffee beans and flowers. Rich, pitch black appearance with a creamy and thick (3-finger) dark brown head that settles slowly and provides for great lacing. The flavor was very complex and embodied all of the great aromas and more, including a hint of black licorice. The 9.5 abv. is hidden very well, yet the slight and comforting edge of alcohol presence remains. The brew warms the stomach nicely. It exhibited a sticky and heavy, yet very smooth, palate that yields well to those rich and creamy aromas and flavors listed above. I bout this beer for 4.50 and would easily pay 10 for the next. Great deal and in no way a let down. I hope I can find this beer again!
[RE-RATE] This bad boy was my number one. Lets see how I perceive it now. The aroma is not quite what I remember. Good but a hint of soy. The beer itself is still a pretty big bodied, well balanced Imperial stout. Very drinkable, a bit lighter body than I remember. A bit more hops on the flavor than I remember. Looks like I have a new number one. Good luck NogneO Imperial Stout and PumKing... you too will be rerated some day!
