Thick, lustrous mouthfeel, a little chalky, but chocolate flavor present. Little to no head. Deep, dark in color. Nice kick. Glad to have such a fine stout in an airport bar. gte620v (29), Georgia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 16, 2009 12 oz bottle, 750ml bottle. This is the second take for this brew. The taste is a little bit funky. The body is not very full and there is little carbonation. Not my preference. barleynhops (82), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Bottle: Pours a dark chocolate with a hint of a tan head and lacing. Smells bitter almost an older bread, but unusual enough to notice the hidden malts and hops. Leaves the palate dry, but in an unusual way, wants more. This is an excellent crafted brew.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2009 33.8 oz. bottle, #1972/3000. Black/brwon with ruby mahogany highlights topped by a light brown large rocky head and good lace. Aroma dominated by coffee and dark chocolate, some licorice and spice. Full body, medium carbonation, mildly astringent, chewy, dry. Molasses flavor with roasty maltinessthat becomes bitter quickly, with a long, bitter finish. A solid imperial stout. tennessejed420 (100), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 27, 2009 Very dark body with a creamy, brown-tan head which doesn’t actually leave that fast. Aroma very malty, coffee, chocolate, toffee, slight tinge of hops. Tastes pretty similar to the aroma, except the hops are much more present. Thick and a little syrupy. The bottle I have is a giant 1L with a stopper on top which somehow seems appropriate for this beer. Well I don’t know about the ending but the beginning of my night has started quite nicely, very good brew. riversideAK (2792), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Dark pour with a tan head that went away too quickly. The aroma is of chocolate, roast, light vanilla, some earth. Flavors are balanced and nice. Sweet dark malts, chocolate, roast, earth, and alcohol make an appearance. Nice fully body, viscous and smooth. Medium carbonation bites in the finish. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2008 12 oz bottle via a trade with I don’t remember who. Pours very very dark with a smallish brown head. Aromas of anise and chocolate. Some cappuccino in there too. Flavors fell off a bit with still some chocolate and bitter black coffee, but not nearly as nice as the aromas. Bitter dark cacao finish. Not too much carbonation left in this beer. I may have let it age a touch too long. Not too bad overall. sebletitje (1997), Tampa, Florida, USA

Pours black, brown head.
Aroma is hoppy, with some smoked malts.
Taste, dark fruits (cherry), some nice roasted malts.
Low carbonation with chocolate notes. Alcohol is well hidden, but remains warming on the palate. The beer is very smooth, thick and grainy.
