Jul 17, 2005 Pitch black body with a light brown head. Light roasted malty aroma with some dark chocolate sweet notes and a nice hoppy touch. Sweet chocolate flavor with hints of some coffee. Finish has a lovely dry bitterness.

Feb 16, 2004 Updated: May 11, 2007Complex, citrus and resinous hop biospheres merging over roasty, dark chocolate lands...A masterful proliferation of cereals and molasses keeps both worlds within grasp and evokes raucous sensuality...Even throughout, a galant glass proffering gorgeous gluttony...

Feb 21, 2007 Pours brown with a sparse but stubborn tan head. Smells of tarte malt, cherries, chocolate and spices. Tastes of spices and boozy.

Apr 20, 2004 Bottled Maverick Imp. 2003: Pitch black coloured. Huge brown long lasting head. Impressive. Coffee, roastyness, tart, malt and cocoa in the aroma. Really makes me want to sniff the liquid up in the nose. Creamy, soft and smooth mouthfeel. Coffee, chocolate, liqouorice, malt, hops and some delightfull sweetness in the flavour. This is liquid for the gods. Ends up in a balanced roasty bitterness in the end that makes you fly away on a sky. Totally addictive brew. For me this was the top runner of the nights tasting including several top notch Belgian and American brews. Thanks to Raindog for sending this.

Jun 7, 2005 650 ml bottle. Pitch black wiht a gorgeous thick dark brown head and very sticky lacing. Aroma is also rich and sweet, heavy malt, molasses, caramel, prune, vanilla, blackberry, underneath a massive bitter cocoa and intense roasty aroma. Flavour is of coffee, dark fruit, soy sauce and faint licorice. Massive roasty flavour with a big bitter finish. A bit bitter than I’d ordinarily like, but still very enjoyable.

Jul 6, 2006 Updated: Jan 5, 2007Bottled. Jet black, even more black, and topped by a creamy tan head. Coffee, hops and hints of chocolate in the aroma. The flavor has a lot of sweetness and there’s roasted malt and coffee. Full-bodied and dry, with a finish of sweetness, alochol and some chocolate. The promised bitterness is well hidden, but that’s ok. This is a really nice beer, but if I could choose, I would go for the oak aged version. (060704)

Jan 12, 2004 Updated: Dec 5, 2008Aroma is a mixture of grassy C-hop scents and burnt pancakes. Appropriately thick, no doubt about that. Creamy in texture, a bit of a lactic or milky note that I also get in the oak-aged version. Finished with a residue of creamy black malts, grassy fresh hops and a light smoke note. The orange/copper bubbles look perfect.
