Dark mahogany pour with a 1/4 inch khaki head. Aroma is dark and roasty; burnt caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Flavor is milk chocolate and ash. Not a bad beer, just not an Imperial.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 8, 2009 Pours a nice black. Aroma is lactose, chocolate, and cinnamon. Flavor is not quite as bold as I’d hope. Chocolate water with a mix of toffee, plums, and cereal. Lactose adds to the complexity, but never turns sour. Hints of roast and hops. Light mouthfeel. Yummy. Palidor19 (1773), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 25, 2009 the aroma reminds of pure distilled water, which not bad by itself but as a stout it cant work. taste is weak flavor despite being a imperial stout. not much on the hop front either. nick76 (2657), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 25, 2009 The aroma is not much. It’s got a little bit of roastiness, with vanilla, dust, grass, and molasses. The appearance is brown with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin but OK. Overall this is better tasting than it is smelling. Pwn3d (1068), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Updated: Nov 15, 2009Tap @ rattle n hum in nyc. Awesome balance in this sucker. I caught myself reaching for this one again and again in the sample of 4. Pours dark brown. Vanilla, molasses, and toffee notes. Sessionable. Pint @ Pony bar.. notes of bacon were noticeable. Not as seasonable as I once thought.. still very full flavored. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Bottle Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. Flavors the same, with a slight bitter finish. Palate was smooth but a little thin. revans (37), Salem, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Not bad. No head and no lace. A workmanlike offering. Not bad but not great. It’ll do in a pinch.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2009 Decent brew. Aroma is mostly dark fruit, vanilla, and booze. Pours dark brown and somewhat translucent. Tastes of bitter dark fruits and roasted chocolate. Smooth on the tongue with biting finish. Probably wouldn’t seek this one out, but may drink again at later date.
