Sep 8, 2004 Updated: Aug 26, 2005On tap: Almost black in color with a brown head, this pours nicely from tap or bottle. The aroma is fruity, but not too sweet, with an underlyting malty scent. The flavor is chocolatey mixed with burnt coffee, and fruity hops. Strong alcohol presence. Good good good. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Apr 19, 2002 Better on tap than the bottle. Nice thick appearance and feel. Chocolate, coffee, and fruit both in the aroma and flavor. The roasted barley comes out in the flavor as well. A great fireside quaff.

Mar 14, 2003 Ok, now I'm 100% sure. I'm changing my favorite style here at ratebeer to Imperial Stout and I'm moving to the USA. Oh no ... wait then Bush will be my president. I'll just be changing my favorite style. Thank you aceofhearts.

Dec 20, 2002 Updated: Aug 10, 2003Pours a thick, dark almost black color. Low carbonation with average head. Smells of chocolates and coffee, a malty bitter smell of a true imperial stout. FULL of flavors. I would have to drink 100 of these to find all the different flavors. My favorite beer at the moment. Rerate DowngradeNot as rich as I remember, but still thick and complex. Still yummy though.

Dec 21, 2004 Deep ruby/brown colour. Not that dark for a stout. Low carbonation. Treacle accented, coffee essence flavour. Burnt malt and chocolate to go with the coffee in the flavour. The alcohol is well hidden. Nice, but not outstanding. Bottled.

Apr 30, 2004 Bottle - Complex aroma of coffee, chocolate and fruit. Appearance was perfect. Black hue with large tan creamy head that lasted to the finish. Full bodied flavor and finish that was consistent with all the aroma. The complete stout in a bottle. Thank you North Coast.

Jan 9, 2005 Bottle. Pours a brown/blackish colour. Off-white head. Has a smell of coffee and chocolate and a roasted smell. Some hints of alcohol too. The taste is roasted and abit bitter, you have chocolate and coffee taste too. It has a a nice bitter aftertaste. This is one of the best imperial stouts i have ever tasted.

Apr 7, 2004 Bottled - bought at Happy Deli NYC. What can I say but wow!? The best beer I've had since joining this website. It has a vinuous smell with hints of coffee and licquorice. It is beautifully black with that off white head typical of the best stouts. the taste is warming, vinuous, roasty, alcoholic and extremly well-balanced. A fantastic beer which tastes stronger than 8.9% but at the same time invites you to have another (If only I'd bought another).
