Nov 28, 2006 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Malty aroma of chocolate, caramel, molasses, moderate smoke, and a hint of roasted grain. Pours a dark garnet with a quite a bit of transparency and a minimal tan head. The flavor starts with chocolate and some light roasted malts. There is a light smokiness in the background. Finishes with some light coffee. The mouthfeel is rather thin with minimal carbonation. This is more like a porter than an Imperial Stout. A decent beer, but this falls short in my expectations for an Imperial Stout.

Nov 24, 2006 33 CL OZ bottle via oh6gdx . Pours a dark brown/almost black with a small tan head. Nose is mild with some chocolate, fruity esters (plum & raisin) and perhaps some lactose. Taste is very roasty and mostly roasted chocolate, a little vanilla, a bit of butterscotch and coffee. A little salty. Thin/medium body. Moderate carbonation. Somewhat dry finish. Very nice. I wish i had a few more of these!

Nov 21, 2006 I’m a Nils Oscar fan, but this Impie doesn’t push all the buttons for me. Looks great with a dark mahogany body under an attractive cinammon coloured head.
Smells of liquorice, salt and tar, with strong bitter choclate and a puff of smoke. Not a lot of sweetness, but plenty of dry bitterness in the middle and end. A little thin, with the alcohol heat too up front for me. Good but not great.

Nov 18, 2006 Dark beer with a thin brown head that left lots of lacing. Brown sugar and coffee nose. Molassess, licorice, roast coffee bean, with an almost celery leaf finish. Nice, easy drinking Impy stout. Thanks to my secret santa for the bottle.

Nov 3, 2006 Bottle. One of two readily available Swedish Imperial Stouts.. Rich and roasty, bitter.. but not hoppy. Sweet and rich liqourice and coffee. Good.. but maybe not outstanding.

Oct 25, 2006 33cl bottle, best by May 2013 (maybe I jumped the gun on this - lol). Obtained in trade with my Secret Santa sunevdj - THANKS SUNE! Dark ruby with a thick, creamy, tan head. Roasted malt and coffee, a bit burnt, with a touch of smoke. Medium sweet flavor, coffee, chocolate. Nice bitter finish - burnt coffee, roasty malt, a distinct smokiness. Body is on the thin side, but does not detract - actually, I think it adds to the drinkablity. Well done!
