| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 27, 2008 Beer pours dark as night...some head and lacing, but nothing outstanding. The aroma is that of chocolate. The flavor is dominated by milk chocolate and sweet booziness (is that the sherry?). The coffee and burnt flavors are present, but not very prevalent. Not overly bold. It’s okay, but nothing I’d run out looking for, honestly. TURDFERGUSON (1606), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA

Good chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, molasses notes. Well done, but imperial stouts are really boring me at the moment. mar (1941), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 17, 2008 The body is perfectly black with a medium tan head. The aroma is molassas and coffee. There is also a little hint of toasted walnuts. The taste has some coffee and dark chocolate. This is very roasted and has some almonds. Decent, but not great.

Definitely worth having in the fridge as an everyday option. pours a dark, dark brown (black) and has a strong smell to it - almost as much as Stone Imperial Russian Stout. deep brown head that rises and falls nicely. The coffee flavor is prevalent in the first few sips then dissipates in favor of the currants and other flavors. A bargain Stout lover’s dream Theis (3791), Denmark

Aroma and flavor are typical of most imperial stouts, with strong coffee and cocoa flavor. Average overall JCB (1796), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 8, 2008 22oz from Liquid Solutions (2006). The pour was inky black, clearly quite hefty and creamy given its consistency. Nice cappucino head and pleasant roasted malt aroma. What you get in the taste, though, is less the typical over-the-top roast bomb and more something akin to an imperial dry stout, almost like Boulder Obovoid without the oaking and with a fuller body/mouthfeel. Pretty good.
