Imperial Stout is a dark and rich beer with a beautiful dark cream coloured head. It’s brewed from several types of roast malts and conditioned on oak, which adds to the heavy body. The Imperial Stout has a strong and growing aftertaste of coffee, bitter chocolate and vanilla. Suited for game, strong cheeses and chocolate desserts. Or may be enjoyed alone in a cognac snifter in front of the fireplace.

"Bottled. Very deep brown, almost black colour. Mediumsized brown mediumsized head. Aroma is acidic/sour wood, slight smoked wood as well as coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Flavour is the same with big roasted malty notes. Long coffee, chocolate and roasted malts in the aftertaste. "

[2] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/19/2008 3:38:58 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of thewolf: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a nice dark brown foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry coffee with some roasted malt and huge notes of black chocolate is well balance. Taste is a mix between some roasted malt with some notes of black chocolate and some dry coffee. Body is quite full and has a somewhat creamy texture which I appreciated with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Probably not the most complex but very well balance with some nice black chocolate notes which I appreciated."
