Jun 19, 2004 SLightl roasted aroma. A little over roasted in the body, but not bad. A decent attempt.

May 29, 2004 I thought this was relatively weak and unbalanced. Some nice roasted chocolate malt flavors though. In its defense though, this is the best beer that they make.

Apr 5, 2004 Dark with tan head and spotty lacing. The aroma is fruity and roasty with some mocha qualities but not too strong. The finish is very astringent, too much black malts.

Mar 4, 2004 Dark brown with amber highlights and produces a small tan head and some lace. The aroma hints of mocha, coffee, caramel, aromatic hops, and a touch of date. The taste starts twangy and displays a touch of oatmeal qualities. A lactic sourness is noticeable midway has is a buttered biscuit note. The finish has a touch od smoke, coffee, and lingering bitterness. The mouthfeel is sticky but still feels thin. This is a damn good stout surprisingly, but also isn't really an imperial either. Enjoy it for what it is and for Max Lagers it's above average.
