| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep brown, almost black, but with hints of amber. Head is pencil-thin and tan. Light, milk chocolate aroma with hints of caramel and heavy malt character. Roasted chocolate flavor. Thick, but not too heavy. Quite delicious, although the chocolately character makes to sweet to have more than a glass or two of. leems (149), Portland, Oregon, USA

Aroma is fruit and malt. Flavor is bitter and sweet, a little caramel. Not bad but not the style I expected. patrick767 (2051), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2009 bottle - Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. The aroma is very fruity, especially plums, and rich with malts. It tastes of sweet caramel malt and dark fruit. It’s medium to full bodied and lightly carbonated with maybe a touch of bitterness in the finish. It’s good though rather a strange brew. It’s an imperial stout? Really?

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2009 poured darker than I initially thought. smooth light crisp aroma of some mocha elements. looked like a porter with little to no head. tasted smooth and light but a definite back to it that brought a complexity of dark fruits and chocolate hiddden behind it. smooth palate and the bite comes in the back with the complexity. overal pretty good stuff. sneagrams3 (1761), St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Chocolate roasted coffee burnt fruit and pepper aroma. Roasted chocolaty burnt overripe fruity coffee with spicy peppery finish. Medium full body and medium carbo.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jun 24, 2009 22 oz bottle, via State Line Liquors. Pours a clear dark brown body with a fizzy light brown head. The nose is grainy and roasty with some coffee and light licorice. A little burnt smelling. The flavor is just darn weird. Sweet, slightly vegetal, with some Hershey’s Syrup and burnt caramel. Then finish is downright unpleasant with a sweet rotting fruit taste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lots of residual sweetness and fizzy carbonation. Don’t know what they were going for here, but I’m pretty sure that the missed the mark, this is just plain bad.
