What a delicious aroma. Notes of cocoa and coffee. The flavour is brilliant. Again its coffee that comes to my mind, and some damned good one. As in good columbian coffee it has a pleasant touch of bitterness in the aftertaste. Its overall very well-balanced. This is absolutely a 'to drink again and again and again ...'-beer.

A very good Imperial. I would even think i would prefer it to Limfjords porter... haddon90 (1036), Alexandria, Virginia, USA

Complex flavor of chocolate, milk, and maybe some coffee. Very full bodied and very well done!! A great brew!! zach8270 (2127), Henrietta, New York, USA

Samuel Smith stouts always look like they come in a black bottle, but turns out the bottle’s clear. Rich, roasted aroma with a smell that reminds me of liquor. Very sweet and chocolaty as well. Very nice roasted flavor with a wonderfully smooth malt and chocolate middle and a smooth and creamy finish that warms you on the way down. FtWorthBrew (105), Fort Worth, Texas, USA

Nice cocolate flavor. Dark and creamy. Goes down very smooth. Loved it. BeanDip (107), Florida, USA

Just beautiful. The aroma is layer upon layer...smoke, fruit, caramel malt, chocolate, coffee....Taste is layer upon layer as well. Touch of licorice towards the end. A little bit sour, a little bit sweet. Hint of carbonation that adds a lively presence to the medium body. Nice hop balance on the finish. This is clearly one of my favorites - in fact, it's perfect. The Imperial Stout I hold all others up to measure on!!!
