Apr 18, 2006 A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by roasted malts. The flavor is very sweet with notes of roasted malt and caramel. Nice one.

May 6, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a very dark mahogany with a huge, creamy, beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Very full body, sweetish roasted malt with roasted, coffeeish accents and some chocolate. Light, bitter finish and very pleasant overall. Thanks heaps to Yogi_Beera and pivo for bringing this. 170406

Mar 19, 2005 Thanks to Dough77 for this one! Black colour. Aroma has a lot of chocolate, light roast with some plum notes. It has a rich, deep, chocolatey character with burnt fruitcake roastiness that adds accent to the background. Rich, chewy and well-crafted. Finishes intensely with coffee, tons of malty sweetness and balancing alcohol.

lasting thin brown head with a bit of lace, sweet ripe fruit aroma with the roasted taking a back seat, smooth sweet body, flavor is all ripe fruit, light bitterness in the finish, the special B of imperial stouts, this not like an imperial stout at all, too much ripe fruit character rather than the roasted malts, I love it

more roasted and hop flavor, swinging back to an imperial stout, need to do more samples at various age points to see where the fruit appears and how it progresses
