| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 24, 2007 Very drinkable very smooth imperial stout. Almost black with a great sweet roasted malt aroma. Flavor is of roasted grain and mocha with a nice little hint of sweetness and good hop balancing. Alcohol flavor comes through a bit, but what can you expect at 10.4%? jbrus (4878), Delft, Netherlands
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 19, 2007 Bottle@Home. Coffee liquor aroma with chocolate and hops. Dark ruby color, light brown head, fair lace. Strong flavored, sweet, light salty, chocolate, bitter, coffee liquor and licorice finish. Alcohol a little bit hidden. Complex, flavorful, well balanced and easy to drink. cbeers21 (576), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 18, 2007 Oily brown/black with nice head. Smoothed body reveals a roasted, coffee/chocolate malt bouyed by a generous and flowery hop selection which produces well balanced and rich aromas. Robust sweet, darkened malts take over in the beginning of the taste, yet gradually yeild to a sturdy hop backbone and a resonating floral quality. This beer’s strength is its diversity, and its balance. Nice brew. iowaherkeye (1859), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 15, 2007 12oz Bottled on 04 10 07. Deep brown, almost black with a one finger beige head. Salty roasted malts and dark chocolate up front, roasted grain, tart raisin and vinous notes. As this warms I picked up on a bit of oatmeal. Vinuous flavor is dominant with roasted malt, salt, dark chocolate, and some spicy alcohol, though it doesn’t seem 10.4%. Ashy dry finish. Light carbonation with a full body. Pretty good, I do think the oak aged is better, though. patrick767 (2033), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2007 bottle - Pours black with a one finger tan head. It has a fairly mild roast malt and chocolate aroma. I was hoping for more on that count. The flavor is chocolate, dark roast malt, decent bitterness, and is really pretty easy going for the style. It’s really a very nice beer, but didn’t blow me away. LooseCannon (935), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 3, 2007 22 oz bottle. Extremely dark stout. Aroma is chocolates, roasted malts. Flavor is extremely chocolaty, with a nice bitter chocolate taste with a nice touch of milk chocolates as well. I could drink this year round (though not right after being outside of course). A perfect beer to enjoy all evening. altonbrownd (1928), Amsterdam, Netherlands
