Jun 25, 2002 Wow. The granddaddy of imperial stouts, and still a leading contender. Blacker than the ace of spades. Nose is sweet, with notes of figs, fruit, and brandy. Flavor is extremely rich, with the major impression being that of almost straight molasses, but somehow I mean that in a good way. The very definition of what it means to drink a vinous beer, with its richness, smoothness, and strength. Would prefer a bit more carbonation. As it finished, it winds up with just a hint of chocolate for a pleasing end to a lovely experience. A beauty, but Stone and Victory have surpassed this one, as nice as it is.

Mar 31, 2002 Updated: Mar 2, 2003Almost black, nice but thin brown head and lace. Nice sweet roasty aroma with hints of prunes, rum, coffee, chocolate and vanilla...damn! Medium bodied, almost creamy, huge flavors of roast, chocolate, vinous fruits, bit of whiskey character and an almost woody feel? Liked it has aged in wooden barrels. Nice hop presence to balance this most elegant imperial out. Doesnt have the viscosity of the others but world class nonetheless.

Aug 22, 2002 Strong, but not overwhelming. Hint of burnt caramel, dark coffee and liquorice. Slight bitter after taste. Very good, but expensive.

Sep 26, 2002 A very enjoyable Imperial Stout. Starts slightly sweet and finishes a bit to the dry side. A perfect beer for dessert.

Aug 29, 2004 Updated: Nov 15, 2005Roasty aroma that to me almost smells like a sweet wine or syrupy liquor. Appearance is jet black with a nice thick tan head that lasts. The palate is a perfect 5! Slides accross your tongue and down your throat like velvet. Flavor is roasty with a hint of chocolate and a finish of alcohol taste. Overall, an amazing beer

Nov 10, 2005 Updated: Dec 2, 2005What a magnificent brew. Does Samuel Smith make a bad beer? I have yet to find it if they do. ... Aroma: Light, with hints of coffee and chocolate ... Appearance, deep brown, nearly black, with very little head. ... Flavor: Wonderfully complex, with coffee, malt, plums, and a bit of chocolate all present. .. The palate is pleasingly dry, with the malts still noticable. This brew ranks right at the top of my list, and I’m pretty stingy about ratings.

Sep 8, 2002 Rerate: Mostly chocolate in the nose, perhaps a bit of coffee, black body, good head. Chocolate and fruit in the flavor with a hint of anise. Just plain tasty.
