| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 3, 2009 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.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 3, 2009 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. rickgordon (3300), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 24, 2009 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! andersand (359), Malmö, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2009 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.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 12, 2009 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. hirigalzkar (578), Stockholm, Sweden

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.
