Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, smoked meats, pepper. Taste is smoky chocolate, dried meats, and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lush carbonation.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 2, 2005 A very nice, borderline imperial stout. In fact, except for it being "foreign", I don’t know why it is not considered imperial. Very full mouthfeel and nicely restrained sweetness. Alcohol well-hidden. hellbilly (1567), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 4, 2008 bottle by way of iowaherkeye/m.s.3.0... pours quite black and opaque with a frothy tan head. lots of lacing left as it retreats. smells like smoked chocolate... mixed with cream, rich roasty grain and wood. tastes like malted chocolate milk iced coffee with a big ’ol scoop of vanilla ice cream. also, there’s some wood, molasses and dark dried fruit. dry lightly sour finish leads to an ashy aftertaste with some lingering coffee. medium to full bodied. super creamy soft mouth feel is balanced by tart fruitiness. awesome... obxdude10 (1566), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
