| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 21, 2006 Updated: Nov 21, 200722 oz bottle. Very dark brown beer with light brown head. Aroma is quite sweet and chocolatey, caramel, a bit of roast, but not as much as I would have expected. Lightly earthy with a strong peppery aroma behind it all. Flavour is sweet with chicory/coffee character as well as sweet milk chocolate. Moderate bitterness on the back. Light leather comes out as it warms. Not really an imperial stout, more of an alcoholic porter. Comes across a bit schitzophrenic. nhorween (640), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 17, 2006 Bottle. Coffee colored, not totally black, with a beige colored head. Nose of roasty malts, almond, banana, anise. Flavor is pretty one dimensional, nutty, dry, some burnt maltiness. Very little coffee and chocolate. I would never call this an imperial stout, just a stout. Alcohol is apparent. I feel let down. crizay (1050), Brook Park (was Tampa,FL), Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 13, 2006 Pitch black average sized almond head. Yu can smell the alcohol and hops in the aroma bigtime even at only 8.2%. The flavor is much of the same too much bitterness in this and not enough flavor. Very bittersweet chocolate taste with the hops just controlling the beer the whole time. Thin mouthfeel and not much going on here, wasn’t impressed. Just because it’s an imperial stout doesn’t mean it should be rated higher. adrian910ss (1436), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 9, 2006 22 oz bomber. Pours a black cola color with a thick beige head. Aroma is of light roasted malt and oats. Taste is malty rich with chocolate overtones and hints of oats. Wouldnt really call this one an imperial stout. Weak flavor overall for an imperial stout. glkaiser (1172), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2006 Blind Tasting. Dark brown/black with small creamy head. Really light toasted malt aroma. Very smooth stout, good sweetness with some chocolate taste. Not overwhelming, just solid. xmarcnolanx (807), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 4, 2006 Shit, I just rated this and the freaking page did not load correctly. Anyway, tastes of a moderate oak/smoke, coffee, and hops. Has a decent bitterness to the brew, but the beer itself is nothing overwhelming. Seems more like a regular stout considering how thin the malt profile is compared to a lot of Impy Stouts. Not a bad beer, but not a truly great one either. goldtwins (4085), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 28, 2006 Poured a clear and very dark brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is not complex. Roasty with some sweetness. The flavor was sweet with a lightly roasted malt. Mild bitterness on the finish. Light to medium body.
