| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 28, 2004 Totally black pour with zero head. Nose is chocolate cake, pine, roasted malt and alcohol. There is a reverse cascade to this. Taste is full of rich sticky big hops and even more chocolate. A great beer to get the kids into craft beers. As hoppy an Imperial Stout that’s out there. hotstuff (3183), Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2003 When poured, the head was small, light brown with fine-large sized bubbles that completely diminished. The body of this beer was opaque and uncarbonated with a black hue. The nose was that of chocolate and roasted coffee with a chocolate and coffee taste to it. The mouthfeel was smooth and full bodied. This beer had a fair amount of lacing to it. TheBeerGod (3171), Newport News, Virginia, USA
