| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2008 An almost black pour with a nice head that dwindled down to a fine lace. Nose was of malt and caramel. Nice thick mouth feel with coffee, chocolate, malt and molasses. Heavy in the mouth. Very subtle on the back end.

I´ve had a lot of great stouts last few months, this one dos´nt live up to my positive memory of it. Lots of chocolate aroma and flavor, but nothing else! To simple to deserve a higher rating. LinusStick (1844), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 27, 2008 A typical and boring imperial stout. Aroma was very nice. Strong notes of chocolate fill the nose. Pour was a flat thick black with no head or bubbles. Taste was thick and chewy chocolate with a just a medium alcohol burn. Bitter chocolate malt with a creaminess. No carbonation which really hurts this beer. This is like 95% of all the impys out there. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA
