| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Pours an ominous deep black with sizeable chocolate colored head. Roasted coffe on both aroma and taste, as well as a layered and biting bittering hops character towards the back. Toasted aspects dominate but there are some balancing light fruit notes and distant sweetness. Nice brew. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 28, 2008 From the bottle via trade. Very nice aromas off this Very dark beer. Somewhat fruity and roasty. Less fruit on the flavor. Hints of wheat twang and lots of roasted/burnt malts on the finish. Not to shabby.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Black pour with a creamy tan head. Interesting unique aroma. Dark fruit, fig, licorice, and roast notes. Alcohol is well hidden. A little heavy on the licorice for my tastes. Not a favorite, but not bad by any means.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Wow. Really a great brew. Pours a deep, dark, cloudy, (is that even possible?) black that lets no light through whatsoever. A small creamy tan head forms that sticks around throughout the glass and provides nice lace. Great aromas coming through of roasted malt and coffee, molasses, dried fruits and grains. Thick and creamy in the mouth. All of the aromas come through in the flavor, and then some. Some yeast and grain in the finish, which really puts this impy stout over the edge for me. Fantastic. DrFunk (80), Sorumsand, Norway

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Shit this was good. I drank it quite some time ago, but recall it being delicious. The aroma was very strong of wheat and malts, but not sweet. Color was nice/cloudy with a decent white head. I recall the flavor being very strong/assertive. I need to spare eight dollars for another bottle and re-rate. I do know i loved it though!~!
