A pitch black beer with a chocolate brown head. The aroma is totally dominated by coffee, with hints of chocolate and roasted malt in the background. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, chocolate, wood, and some hops - and a very dry roasted coffee end.

Oct 6, 2008 Pitch black pour with tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Delicious taste with initial sweetness, with roasted malt, bitter chocolate, anise, and some floral bitter hops on the finish. Wonderfully thick lon the palate. Great beer.

Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 20 Sep 2008) Pitch black colour with brief, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of black coffee, dark chocolate and hints of citrussy hops. Roasted, malty taste with strong black coffee, liquorice, cocoa and hints of tar. Citrussy hops in a fairly bitter finish. Balanced sweetness. Brilliantly balanced with alcohol well hidden. Absolutely stunning beer! Beautiful!

Oct 3, 2008 From bottle. Pours dark black with very little head. Huge chocolaty malt aroma.
Not as heavy inthe mouth as expected but full of coffee, chocolate and smoke. Don’t serve this too cold or you may be disappointed. Classic Stone brew.

Oct 2, 2008 Den har godt nok ligget længe og ventet. Men det var også meningen. Fik den af Kenneth i foråret 2006. Farven er sort, skummet er brunt og forsvinder hurtigt. Duften er sherry/portvin, blommer, svedsker, rosiner, alkohol, lidt sød og mælkeagtig. Smagen er let støvet, gløgg, sprittet, mørke tørrede frugter, lidt bitter choko og igen lidt "mælket". Varmer lidt i halsen, let karboneret ikke så olieret som jeg egentlig havde forventet. Ikke rigtig noget bitterhed tilbage, den har mistet noget med tiden. Smagte en "frisk" af slagsen for ca. 1 ½ år siden som betydelig bedre kunne lide, men ikke ratede.

Oct 1, 2008 Opaque black pour with very little head. Great roast and chocolate aroma. Slightly dry at the first taste with a nice coffee taste. Some caramel, milk, and chocolate ice cream in there too. Light mouthfeel for an Imp Stout. Great beer, through and through.
