Jun 26, 2009 A solid stout. Solid black in color, fleeting creamy head (very thin for me). Roasted malt aroma w/ chocolate subtleties. Heavy drink, but well worth a try. I’m still more of a porter man though.

Jun 18, 2009 0,355l bottle. Pous dark nutty brown with nice light brown head. Nose is packed with coffee, liquorice and roasted notes. Flavor echoes the aroma; the taste of espresso and alcohol warmness toward the end are the most notable elements. Leaves a bitter aftertaste. Nice Imperial Stout, no doubt.

Jun 12, 2009 Small off white to tan head. Some lacing. Dark brown in color, not black. Aroma of malts, coffee and chocolate milk. Strong bourbon like alcohol flavor override everything else. Chocolate coffee with cola comes through and builds as it warms but never really over powers the alcohol flavor. Medium bodied, cola like thickness. Bitter alcohol finish.

Jun 8, 2009 Bottle @ Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Pours dark brown with a creamy head and lacings. Roasted coffee and chocolate. Lots of cookie dough, caramel, butter and milky chocolate. Medium and smooth palate. Too sweet to be really good!

Jun 7, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours almost black, minimal head, but I see some translucent redness around the edges of my glass. Shouldn’t an imperial stout be thicker and darker? Well, moving on, the aroma failed to entice me, and in fact I had to sniff the brew for quite some time to figure out what was going on. Maybe the alcohol was coming out in the aroma too much. It was a funky smell. Thankfully this brew tastes fantastic! Rich, roasted malt flavors mix with earthy Old World style hops. It’s a strong drink and it went straight to my head. Somehow after the first few sips that funky aroma became much less apparent and I even started to like it. Overall a very enjoyable effort from a brewery whose products I rarely enjoy.
