Dec 5, 2006 From bomber. Pours black with thick coffee head. Nose has a large grassy hop profile along with chocolate/coffee undertones. Flavor is similar with the chocolate in front this time and a great bitter citrus finish. Palate is creamy and smooth. Well done.

Dec 4, 2006 This stuff is big! Pours black with a short lived deep brown head. The aroma is roasted chocolate, with a surprisingly resiny, grapefruit hop kick. It has a great thick body, exactly what I want from an Imperial Stout. Huge resiny flavors which is a perfect balance to the thick chocolatey malts. Viscous mouthfeel, without being unpleasantly syrupy. Mocha roastyness, with a grapefruit hop middle and a long roasty dry hop and coffee finish. This is a rich, complex and satisfing brew, but it doesn’t have the drinkability of some other amazing Imperial Stouts (like Old Rasputin).

Dec 3, 2006 Bottle.
Black coloured with a beige head.

Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark
Dec 1, 2006 Bottled. Quite black coloured. Lots of hops, chocolate and coffee and some toffee and fruits in the aroma. The flavour is extremely well balanced with loads of bitter and juicy hop notes as well as darker coffee and chocolate notes. The roasty and the hoppy bitter and dry notes goes perfectly togheter with the soft and sweetish fruit notes. Full bodied. Slightly below medium carbonation level. Soft mouthfeel. Lingering aftertaste with the hops dominating. Excellent.

Nov 29, 2006 2006 22 oz. bottle via trade with JCapriotti and jasonmech77 - Pours a deep dark brown color with a good size tan head. Light spotty lacing. Has a nice citrus hop and light roasted malt aroma. Don’t find too many IS’s using the 3 C’s hops. I like it. Has a smooth chocolate flavor with a good bit of bitterness to boot. Medium to full body. Bitterness seems to linger a tad. Gonna have to sit on my other bottle for awhile. I like this beer, alot. When I start brewing again, this is what I’m shooting for. Thanks Jason.

Nov 23, 2006 22 ounce bottle. Kick ass black with a reddish brown head. The head fades rather quickly, but that’s ok. She’s still a beaut. Lots of wonderful citrusy hop aroma. Hot cocoa and lattes. Lots of cocoa and dark roast coffee flavor. Hops are a major player as well. Big time bitter. Alcohol warmth. Maybe a bit on the thin side, but that just makes it quaffable. Really a top notch beer.
