| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Pours oily black with a medium sized mocha colored head. Beautiful aroma of mocha, chocolate, and a touch of hops. Flavor is very well balanced chocolate, dark fruit, coffee, and roasted malt. The coffee is not as dominant as I was expecting. Very sweet at first and slightly bitter at the end. Good body. Good coffee finish. Make sure to let it warm. Nice beer. DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Pours an incredible fudge brown with a thick and creamy chocolate head. Absolutely beautiful. The aroma is a perfect blend of sweet coffee roast and chocolate earthiness. The mouthfeel is exquisitely smooth and full, with just a hint of carbonation. The flavor is full of the delicious coffee all the way through. Some chocolate, buttery flavors also show through in the beginning, and it finishes very mellow and slightly bitter sweet.

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 14, 2009 This is as good of an Imperial stout as I have ever had. Pours a deep black color with a very thick dark brown head. aroma is coffee, roasted malt, a little bit of campfire smokiness, dark chocolate. I could have smelled this forever. Flavor kept the promise of the aroma, huge roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate flavors with a nice slickness from the oats in the beer. there was a slight bitterness, but it added to the beer instead of detracting like the bitterness in som any other imperials. This had an amazing flavor an da nice full chewy slick mouthfeel. Fantastic beer. jerc (3936), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 13, 2009 2009-06-13. Black body with a huge foamy khaki head and lace. Aroma is pleasantly alcoholic, rich dark malts, modest dark fruit throughout. (8+) Flavour is surprisingly well balanced. Bitterness up front from hops, roast and coffee is very well supported by a sweet middle, primarily generic (but pleasant) dark malts, rich dark fruits that grow as it warms. Coffee is surprisingly restrained throughout, to its benefit in my opinion, pleasant bitterness in the finish lingers with a mild dark fruit character. (8+) Palate is a richly smooth medium to full body. (4+) Relatively straightforward, simple, but rich and pleasant. Nice. Bottle, beerbistro, Toronto wavers1 (163), novato, California, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 13, 2009 pours very think, very black. meduim dark brown head disappears quickly. aroma has strong malt and coffee notes that compliment nicely the underlying burnt/smoke smell, def a lil funk to go along from the shitcoffee. the flavor is an immense black coffee malt explosion with hints of smoke, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, all the good shit(pun intended). the palate is very clean and actually refreshing with only the right amount of black coffee dryness in the finish. damn good beer. djtimeless (173), Florida, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Pours out black with massive head. Smells like coco and coffee. Taste is very roasty, creamy, and bitter. Thick and rich. Flavors of coffee, chocolate, roated malt. Good balance, very drinkable. Some warming from alcohol, but well hidden. Great Imperial stout. puggy211 (591), cordova, Tennessee, USA
