Black color with a pale brown head. Aroma: Prunes, dried fruit, roasted malt, coffee, toffee, chocolate and some alcohol. Flavor: Roasted malt, prunes, raisins, coffee, liquorice, bitter chocolate, alcohol, a bit of sourness and some hops. Smooth, creamy and balanced. With a medium to full body.

Is everyone serious with this beer? By far the weakest imperial stout I have every had. Not as full bodied or complex as I was expecting. Roasted malt and a little bit of chocolate pretty much sums up the taste. No hops or alcohol presence. Watery finish. Very dissapointing.

500 ml bottle. Pours a dark black. Thin, dark tan head. Aroma of licorice, roasted coffee, dark chocolate. Palate is a bit watery. The flavor is nice and creamy, with notes of roasted malt, soy sauce. Slightly bittter finish.

Tasty!!!! Nice real dark color with a nice robust chocolate stout taste! The smell is glorious with a malty chocolate smell. One of my favorite imperial stouts!

Aroma is deep, rich and sweet almost like a Barley Wine. Color is solid black with good carbonation and a tight tan head. Taste is roasted and sweet. It starts with a full body that goes down with a rich smooth feel. Finish comes in sweet raisin like taste, mellow roasted flavors then a very faint bitterness. In the after taste the raisin lingers a bit then fades to a chocolate taste. This is just an amazing Imp. Stout, its soo rich and flavorful that its almost like a Barley Wine. Its hard to believe its only 7% alcohol.
