Sep 4, 2008 2008 bottle. Black, lacing cappucino beige head. Woody, orangey sacher cake aroma. Also smoke and menthol, a real treat. Menthol woody flavor, very balanced burned maltiness, dark chocolate. Not that thick, but beautiful smooth mouthfeel. A great Impy, even when this young.

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle BB v.22 2018. Pours black with medium thick, white head. Veryt sweet aroma of sugar, cream chocolate, a hint of coffee and some lemon and lime. Very fresh and ligt taste, although quite sweet. This beer is perplexing in the way it’s sweet and light at the same time it’s complex and big. Maybe more of aa Imp. Porter than Stout.

Aug 30, 2008 2008 bottle from marsiblursi. Thanks! Pours black with little head. Aroma is mild, some alcohol, a bit of liquorice, a bit of ash from roasted grains. Mellow and easy to drink. Very nice.

Aug 23, 2008 (Bottle, BBE 12.10.08, at Pikkulintu on 2008-08-22) Almost pitch black. Large tan head that didn’t last long. Liquorice and chocolate in nose. Full-bodied soft palate with medium carbonation. Chocolate, vanilla, liquorice, bit of coffee and roastedness in taste. Very good imperial stout.

Aug 7, 2008 Had to wait a bit to get any aroma out of this. When it opened up to me, it was pleasantly nutty and chocolatey. A bit on the sweet side but nice as a dessert, complex enough for a re rate in the future.
