Jan 18, 2008 Bottle enjoyed with shp555 and douglas88 at my place. So this is the second batch but man, this was tasty. Thick and rich. Like biting into a coffee and chocolate confection. Has a bit of bitterness which nicely complimented the richness.

Jan 17, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2009Bottle. Pours black with a brown head. Lacing on glass is pretty heavy. Aroma of roasted coffe and chocolate, with some unID’d bitter/sour notes. Taste is also of coffee and chocolate, with some fruit and hops. The most fruit I’ve ever taste in a RIS. Finish has some other flavors that are hard to pickup, bitter, salt, citrus(?). A lot going on here. Mouthfeel is slick and sticky. A very nice stout. Not as hot as I expected for 14%. Really nice and unique for the impy stout group.

Jan 17, 2008 Gratis bottle from Rick. Opaque black pour into a snifter. Nice thick, creamy tan head that dissipates to to a fine layer. Great lacing that lasts. First thing you smell is coffee and a deep roast aroma. Initial taste had a great full mouthfeel that left a bit of a oily feeling. Little to no hop bitterness but the coffee taste lends a nice bitterness. The 14% ABV is hidden well until the swallow; you feel it going down and gives you a great feeling in your stomach. The low carbonation and toffee/caramel flavors mix well. To date, this is the best Imperial Stout I have tasted. Worth the price. As it warms, the bitterness is subsiding and has a nice vanilla flavor to compliment the coffee. Would love to try a cash version if it were ever available.

Jan 17, 2008 Flaske. Fantastisk duft på en kulsort øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duften er en smule frugtagtig med en god del lakrids. Smagen er ekstrem. Meget brændt en del vanillie der evt. ville stå godt med en fadlagring? (Bare en ide) lidt chokolade. Eneste minus er at alkoholen slår for meget igennem, hvilket trækker 0,2-0,3 ned i min bog. Ellers taler tallene vidst for sig selv.
