| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 19, 2009 11.2 Oz bottle purchased at Knightly Spirits in Orlado. So I though
my nose was playing tricks on me. I just had Mephistopheles and Oscar
smells very similar. There is a big whole whallop of coffee in the
aroma, followed by some spice. But the flavor on this one is so
delicate and fluffy. It just goes down so smooth and ends with a very
good chocolate flavor. SO how come this isn’t labeled as a foreign
stout? mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Dark brown black body with a medium-lasting creamy tan head. Roasted grounds and heavy malt flavour has lots of burnt roasty fullness. Full body. Good and drinkable.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Orlando, Fl. - Knightly Spirits - 11.2 oz bottle. Dark black pour with some purple tints - light khaki head that diminishes pretty quickly. Pleasant aroma of coffee, chocolate with hints of molasses. Good, solid stout flavor with plenty of bitter coffee notes, some bitter bakers unsweetened chocolate and just a hint of dates and raisins. Mouthfeel is clean and smooth. Very enjoyable and not overpowering. RangledeFreak (23), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. Black color, with a large brown head. The nose was sweet and malty, coffee and a hint of smoke. Taste roasted malt, with coffee, roasted coffee(maybe a bid tobacco) with some dryed fruit short of hiding. Great aroma a bid disapointing taste for an imperial stout. zeke626 (303), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Flavor of chocolate, burnt malts, sugar, licorice, and a hint of tar. Medium bodied with a cocoa finish.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2009 Thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Pitch black, I shone a torch through it with no result. Huge tan head. Aroma: Coffee, cream, mint with slight peat notes and a tinge of orange peel. Flavour: Creamy & milky, mild, slight coffee/tobacco, a little malt, light on carbonation, nice creamy malt finish. I must agree with Harry, not an Imperial Stout...
