Jul 23, 2009 Bottle. High creamy and lasting light brown head. Pitch black body. Creamy choccolate coffee vanilla aroma. Spitzenklasse. Sweet choccolate dominated flavor with smooth and creamy cofee caramel vanilla notes. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste. Impressive that you hardly smell or taste the alcohol. The sweetness is not too much of a good thing as there is still a fine hops note.

Jul 21, 2009 Pours a hearty dark brown with a creamy brown head. Big aromas of dark chocolate, coco, coffee, caramel, roasted malts, and vanilla. This is an absolutely delicious brew! The flavor is pretty intense of chocolate, almost like it was melted right into this glass and transformed to liquid. The coffee note is a par under with some roasted malts and a little caramel poking through. There are also noted coco and a touch of vanilla and toffee. Sweet, a little bitter, creamy/silky and rich. You can actually notice some of the chocolate after every sip. The alcohol is not really noticeable. Waited a long time to try this and I’m glad I did. Awesome.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle shared by bconley @ otakudens Vero Beach Throwdown. Pours extremely dark brown with light brown head. Very strong milk chocolate aroma. It tastes like a liquid Hershey bar with some espresso. Alcohol flavor is pretty strong.Full body with average carbonation. Very enjoyable.

Jul 21, 2009 Pours dark chocolate brown with little head. The aroma blew me away with its intensity but gradually evolved (devolved?) with each sniff. It went from pure dark chocolate... to chocolate pudding... to chocolate pudding skin... to scratch n’ sniff chocolate pudding. Flavor was stovetop chocolate pudding. Coffee and an alcohol finish emerge as it warms. Fairly creamy. No surprise that this is obnoxious and in your face, but that’s not a bad thing when it comes to chocolate.

Jul 20, 2009 Pitch black beer with a thick sticky tan head. The aroma is just incredible. Massive, soft sweet coffee and cocoa character. Excellent sweet chewiness. Intense chocolate syrup and a fresh coffeeish nose as well. Nice and chewy with a bit of heavy sweetness. Nice and chewy palate with a bit of milk chocolate sweetness. The chocolate is mostly present through the middle, but the coffee pops up on the finish. A little bit of soft earthy bitterness. Like all the ST imperial series, it’s really intense and sweet but it’s incredibly delicious.
