(Bottle) Black. Tan medium sized head. Coffee and rostedness in nose. Full bodied and dryish palate with little carbonation. Coffee, roasted malts, liquorice and bitterness in taste. Long coffee flavoured aftertaste. Very good imperial stout.

Black color with a nice brown head. Aroma: Highly roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, coffee, hops, alcohol, and some light notes of dark fruit. Flavor: Heavily roasted/burned and bitter with notes of espresso,salmiak, tar, dark chocolate and alcohol. Some sweetness but mostly on the roasted and bitter side. Dry finish. Probably even better after storing for a while.

Bottle. Pours black as Satan’s heart with a wonderfully inviting tan head that tells you right away you are going to get a kick in the sack if you’re some pansy drinker. Felt like I was having sex with a Victoria’s Secret model who tasted of roasted coffee and chocolate. Fantastic beer.

Pours black with huge long lasting tan head and copious lacings. Aroma is potent-coffee and cocoa. Taste is bitter chocolate and strong rich coffee. Has a nice bitter, warming finish. Smooth and rich. The alcohol is apparent but ends up buried in all the good flavors. Nice brew.

Magnificent, Pours black with a nice tan head that remains around thanks to tiny bubbles. The sweetness is perfectly balanced the right amount of hops. Not for the faint of heart. An exceptional beer that may be the best in this style in the entire World. Well worth the Price.

Bottle:pours very dark with a generous tan head, nice aroma of malt and yeast, first taste is hoppy with roasted malt and finishes with an alcohol warmth, other raters get a complexity from this beer, but I do not, perhaps a bit of licorice with the roasted malts. A really nice RIS

Pours deep black, roasty, coffee flavors, 9% strong. sweet, chocolate, very hoppy. One of my favorits
