Chocolate truffles, cocoa, espresso coffee, burnt currants, the sweetness of a sherry - all come to mind when enjoying an Imperial Stout. A rich porter of English origin brewed to withstand the long voyage from London to Czarist Russia. The classic "Winter Warmer". Big, Strong, Malty Stout.

Aroma is rich and smoky with a molasses undertone and hints of coffee and unsweetened chocolate. It pours a nearly black sable with a thick, fine-bubbled, fairly persistent cinnamon-tan head. Flavor is smoky and malty with hints of coffee, molasses and unsweetened chocolate, just a teensy sweet and just a teensy bitter. Texture is smooth, tingly, just a bit thinner than I expected but still quite good. Recommended.

Bomber from Total Wine & More Roseville. Pours opaque black with a medium-sized fluffy brown head that sticks; looks wonderful. Dark fruits in the aroma right out of the bottle, in addition to chocolatey malts and brown sugar. Tarry flavor with espresso oils, ashy unsweetened chocolate, classically malty. Robust, thick palate. Very enjoyable impy in the end. Overall, very good to excellent.

Bottled. Thanks to Anders Holmskar. Almost black with brown head. Mint and chocolate side by side in aroma, where the chocolate dominates. Full-bodied and full flavour with rich chocolate along with hazelnut. Bitterness is medium. A very tasty beer!

Black with a fair amount of light coming through. Small light brown head. Aroma is straight forward roasted malt and caramell. Flavour is basically as straight forward with light hops coming through, very simple with a medium sized body, not bad, just bland and flavourless for a impy.

Bottle for a cold and rainy night... Black as black can get, decent mocha colored head that didnt stick. Light aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. Taste is lots of roasted malts, slight chocolate note, coffee, and a slight bitterness. Medium texture for an impy. Hides the alcohol well. Overall just a solid imperial stout.

Black. Beige head. Cigarr and vanilla en masse, but not much more. Nice but not very complex.

Bottle from Ölbutikken. Pours black with a milk chocolate coloured head. Cigarr and chocolate tasteing, good but lacks in depth and complexity.

Bottled @SBWF 2009
Dark brown color, small brownish head. Coffee-licorice aroma. Soft palate. A bit burned malts, coffee (Jawa) and licorice. Lingering licorice in the aftertaste. Tasty.
