| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2002 Opaque black w/ a frothy head that settles down quickly, this Imperial Stout has more of the ’coffee’ taste than other I.S.’s I’ve tried. I didn’t think that the overall taste was that strong. Also, the alcohol wasn’t well hidden. A decent imperial stout, but I prefer others. alexanderj (2250), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jan 17, 2007 Updated: Nov 7, 2007Poured black, with a light brown head. Aroma was great; chocolate and fruit; alcohol. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, and dark fruit. Thin on the palate. Different from other in the style in some ways, but still good. (Re rate; upped my score a few points. Picked up much more caramel and toffee this time around. Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 15, 2002 Dose’nt has what it takes to be a Stout like the Danish ones. jazz88 (2237), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2002 Bottle. Black as night with basically no head. Not as thick as some of the other top Imperial Stouts. A sour chocolate flavor, semi-sweet, bitter, and alcohol noticable. I did not find the complexity nor the richness I expected.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 29, 2004 Color is black as black can be, and the head is proud, large and a creamy tan color. Aroma is warm and wonderfully delicious, soft, creamy, notes of chocolate, slightly roasty, and edging into darker flavors, but not quite there. Palate is deliriously sweet and inviting. Mouthfeel: sursprisingly smooth and untroubled, gentle, harmonious, thick with malt, mellow with hops.
Very smooth drinking for an Imperial. I haven’t had one of these in a long time, and have spoiled myself with the bolder, brasher, and far more adventurously flavored (roasted, malted, hopped, everywhichway) American versions, the Old Rasputins, Stormkings, Expeditions, Rogues, and Stones...
But, I can’t help liking it. Great stout, delicicious,delightful, but a bit weak, at a "mere" 7%, compared to similar brews from "the colonies". Quite tasty, but I’d love it if they’d ever stretch out some.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 22, 2004 This is such a classy beer. Dark brown/black, pretty tan head that slowly fades. Aroma of butterscotch and molasses. Flavors are buttery, followed by currants and a bit of a dark malt quality. Somehow still spritzy on the finish, and even the yeast makes an appearance. This is simply a fine beer. An old favorite that reminds me that the Brits really do know what they are doing when it comes to beer.
