joekfsu (118), Boardman, Ohio, USA Mar 9, 2008 Ceramic 750, 2007. Pours pitch black with a nice 2 cm dark tan head that is slowly diminishing. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, and a hint of cherries. Flavor is uniform throughout, coffee and bitter chocolate, alcohol is hidden until tomorrow morning. Nice lacing, nearly zero carbonation, well hidden alcohol, heavy body. Drinkable minus the uber EtOH, but I loved it.
J_Hunter (165), British Columbia, Canada Aug 20, 2008 pours very dark with a dark brown head. very sweet taste thick on the palate very good. Taverner (432), San Ramon, California, USA Aug 18, 2008 Ceramic bottle, 2007 Edition. Full of chocolate goodness. This is like drinking a dark, bittersweet chocolate bar. Flavors are deep chocolate, some coffee and some malty goodness. Nose has a touch of alcohol, but fades quickly to explose the deep chocolate flavor. saxo (2120), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Aug 17, 2008 Ceramic bottle. 2006 version. Nice big creamy tan head with excellent duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are wood, roast malt, coffee and lots of fruit, which surprised me a bit. Very positive experience MiP (4927), Flensburg, Germany Aug 12, 2008 Ceramic bottle, 11.6% as Rogue XS Imperial Stout. Black colour, stable light brown head. The flavour is quite roasted and bitter, some smoke, reminds me a lot of Limfjordsporter, only less creamy and more rough. Angeloregon (1829), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 2, 2008 From a 750ML ceramic bottle--Poured a thick, rich chocolaty body with a small tan head. Malty, coffee. molasses, vanilla, toffee, chocolate nose. Mouth feel is full on and prickly with nice hop level. Great beer!
