| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 28, 2009 Sampled at the BA Nashville Tasting. Pours dark black with a dark tan head.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2009 Draft @ the brewery. Pours black with a dark tan head. Nose is roasty, chocolate, a phenolic smokey aroma, coffee. Flavor is roast, chocolate, some fruity notes, gives a slight nutty impression--much like Reese’s Pieces, ends with a nice bitterness. Medium carbonation, still a fairly heavy mouthfeel. trevor211 (518), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 24, 2009 Thanks to Bobby91w for the bottle! Pours black, with a surprisingly thick tan head that leaves minimal (if any) lacing. The aroma has mild sweet fruits, thick, lightly roasted malts, slightly tinny with some malted chocolate (think Whoppers). The flavor is better, though it really brings to mind a bizarre memory for me - strong coffee with too much brown sugar added. Not sure if there’s some residual sugar lingering in here, but it’s a bit overpoweringly sweet. Has some port wine notes to vary the flavor, and while it doesn’t seem like 11.7%, the alcohol makes its presence known. Oily / soapy mouthfeel - more hops would have done this one well.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Bottle from 1/09. Pour is dark brown with tan head, some soapy lace. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, heavy malt, alcohol, fruit. Taste is same, with the heavy sweetness really dominating. Finish is sweet and a little warming. Fruit is also a little more present in taste than in aroma. Mouth is sticky and coating. A little on the bitter side. Overall, a decent imperial stout. Ungstrup (15336), Frederiksberg, Denmark
