Jul 10, 2008 22oz bottle. A black pour with a medium sized tan head. Bursting with chocolate and coffee aromas with some toasted malt. The 12% is hidden quite well, full bodied, highly recommended!

Jul 8, 2008 Pours thick black, small brown head. Strong flavor hits you, then a bitter finish. Definitely a complex stout, and while the flavor wasn’t totally my bag, it’s an interesting and worthy stout.

Jul 6, 2008 Very much enjoyed this. Tremendous aroma of coffee and some cocoa. Pours jet black with a small, but lingering dark tan head. Lots of malt and feels heavy, almost oily. The coffee really smooths this out, without it become a coffee drink. It is still very much an imperial stout..

Jul 4, 2008 Updated: Jul 6, 2008500ml. Pitch black color with a very minimal head. Delicate and enticing chocolaty sweet aroma. The big 12% alcohol seems to take away from some of the coffee subtleties. This is quite an excellent beer, one of the stronger enjoyable Imperial Stouts. Has a great mouthfeel to it. Well done. Had to bring it down a few points by the end of the bottle...alcohol level ends up being a tad excessive.

Jul 4, 2008 bomber thanks to someone off BA site. This pours black with a beautiful brown head which lingered to give great lacing. The nose was full of roast coffee. Very nice coffee at that! No cheap blend here. The taste was of coffee, of course, but also a rich chocolate. Delicious! The mouthfeel was medium with some alcohol and chalkiness. This was a very, very nice Impy stout. Loved it. Would like to get my hands on another.

Jul 3, 2008 22oz bottle. Vertical 2005 vs. 2008. Pours dark espresso black, brown head. Aroma is big coffee. Flavor is heavy sticky sweet malt. Lots of roast, long lingering coffee flavors. Ages superbly. Very heavy bodied. This is a big full flavored beer. Very impressed.

Jul 1, 2008 Bomber. Pours thick and dark with a medium brown head. Aroma of caramel, raisins, cocoa, and malty sweetness. Rich flavor of coffee and chocolate along with roasted malts, ending in a bitter espresso finish that lingers. Thick and big, but hides the alcohol well. Delicious beer.

Jun 29, 2008 Bomber from Wine Specialist. Brown/black color with a moderate tan head. Aroma of coffee and treacle. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is coffee to the extreme with dark toasted malt and treacle. The finish is sweet, but balanced with toasted, burnt malt. I can’t integrate the hop, but it seems to be there to help with the balance. Drink this and die (i.e., see Naples and die).
