Dec 14, 2009 (Can, Akkurat, Stockholm) Pitch black colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with espresso, ashes, tar and cocoa. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, black coffee, ashes and some tar. Generous cocoa bitterness in a long finish. Full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, fairly dry. Alcohol fairly well hidden. Well, it’s bold, full bodied, hoppy, strong and ... it’s canned! But in some way it’s very well balanced and quite easy to drink. Very tasty and quite brilliant!

Dec 13, 2009 12 oz can. Pours black with a dense, foamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and burnt sugar. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, roasted malt and a very light alcohol taste. Full body with mild carbonation and a thick, creamy mouth feel similar to chocolate milk. Best beer I’ve ever had out of a can, a very solid Imp Stout with great aroma and flavor, I really like the mouth feel in this one.

Dec 13, 2009 12 oz. can from South Bay Drugs. Pours opaque black with a small brown head that heaves a nice film on the top the entire time. Aroma of chocolate, raisins, roasted malts, coffee, hops, smoked meats, and berries. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, bitter hops, dark fruit, and alcohol. This has a lot of nice flavors but doesn’t do much to mask the booze. Full bodied, slick, and oily. Rich, bitter, and roasty- and fortunately not too roasty or smoky. Nice beer.

Dec 11, 2009 12 oz can- Pours black with a great roasted tan head and decent lacing, aroma is chocolate and coffee. The flavor is exactly what I love in a Imperial stout, bold, deep, complex, I could go on and on, and it comes in a can! I just had Beer Valley Black Flag Imperial Stout just before this, and that beer sucked compared to this liquid gold, and Ten Fidy was a quarter the price, go figure.

Dec 5, 2009 I’m always at war with big stouts and which ones are better than others. This one just got moved into the top 3 for stouts. It’s got a dark syrupy pour that has an aroma of chocolate, coffee, and subtle hints of oats(just as the description suggests) The 9.4%ABV is not overpowering at all, which makes it that much more enjoyable.
