Feb 15, 2007 Aroma of chocolate and toasted malt, along with a hint of alcohol. Dark brown/black color with ruby hints at the edges. Ferocious tan head that laces. Medium mouthfeel. Starts with chocolate and coffee. A bit of sour followed by toasted malt. The malt tends to overpower the hop. There is some sort of fruit component accompanying everything; it’s almost apple. Not strong, just present. Interesting stuff.

Jan 4, 2004 Lots of alcohol taste and smell. A little grape in the taste and aroma. Nice dark full body. Has a little smoky smell and a bitter finish. Overall, a solid stout.

Jan 21, 2005 Sweet and malty aroma with plenty of roasted malts and minor hints of alcohol. Opaque black with decent tan/brown head that recedes slowly to cover. Roasted malts offset an intense sweetness leading to a slightly salty bitter finish. Some alcohol warming. Medium full body and smooth texture with engaging carbonation. A very straight forward and enjoyable strong stout. Bottle (clear).

Jun 5, 2003 Updated: Aug 23, 2004Deep brown with small tan head, good lacing, full-bodied. Vinous aroma, hints of bittersweet chocolate, molasses, leather, very complex. Surprising fruity undertones on the palate (plum?) and a serious roasted taste. Port like warmness and finished dry, great mouthfeel. Not an "over-the-top" Imperial like some American versions, just a darn good classic.

Sep 21, 2002 Updated: May 22, 2003Prunes, chocolate and all things dark and wonderful. A liquid Christmas cake - sweet, dark, fruity, spicy, creamy, smooth. Toasted marzipan. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Rum and port. O my God, this is heavenly! An excellent after dinner drink. [4.0] Re-rate: Had this again as a comparison with Old Rasputin. The sweetness and complexity seemed to have gone, and (despite storage in the dark, and still being within date) a metallic quality had now entered the flavours. Hum! Moved down a few points.
