Imperial-John (100), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Oct 12, 2008 Pitch dark black with small creamy tan head that thins quickly. Faint roasted nut and molasses aroma. Carbonated dark burnt roasted bittersweet chocolate. Light on flavour with a bittersweet burnt roast aftertaste. Strangebrewer (42), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Oct 1, 2008 Pours dark ruby-brown with almost no head, aroma of burnt raisons. A bit flat, sweet, malty licorice and metallic. Finishes like bitter black coffee. Definetly not for me. PaulHegedus (120), Brampton, Ontario, Canada Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a long lasting, permanent head. Served cellar temp. There are aromas of fresh gingerbread, homemade cookies, molasses, toffee: very spicy too, like winter baking fresh out of the oven. Mouthfeel is light, slightly watery. Flavour is less interesting than the aromas. I taste some molasses, raisin, chocolate. Ported (62), Ontario, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Dark brown, thin tan head. Fairly mild flavour, roated malts, hint of coffee, chocolate, brown sugar. Was hoping for some more punch. Very easy going. Sanchex (221), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 20, 2008 I’ve had this before and remembered it being better. Aroma is a of roasted malts and molasses and taste is all molasses. I don’t get any coffee type flavours but just a hint of bitter chocolate. Somewhat astringent with thin body. Cheers!
