34.1 cL bottle, courtesy of fiulijn. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is dark malty, chocolate and mild smoked. Smoked and roasted dark chocolate malt to light caramelish. Dry and slight ham like into a nice lingering malty finish.

Bottle: Poured a deep hazy brown color ale with a huge off-white foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of deep sweet malt with traces of candi sugar and nice dry raisins with a subtle notes of anise. Taste is more complex then I had expected with loads of maderized sugar and dry raisins with some great notes of candi sugar ad deep caramelized malt. Body is quite full with limited filtration and great carbonation with no signs of alcohol. While I appreciated most offering form this brewer I must admit that this is quite better then I had expected.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a deep brown body and a fading off-white head. Aroma of hops, syrupy and pine. Taste is hops, a bit of metallic copper and pine. High carbonation.

Big fleshy grapefruit pulp with some orange rind. An earthy feel to it but this is all about the grapefruit.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a brown body and a tan, fading head. Aroma of hops and brown sugar. Taste is hops, and quite bland at that. Light bubbles.

Bottle from RadioMGB, thanks! Deep dark brown color. Malt and beechwood smoke in the aroma. Malty flavor with peach. A slight tartness with loads of beechwood smoke. Peach, melon and pineapple in the finish. Lovely!

Dried fruit, candy (or sugar cane) with some caramel though its presence is not strong. Ends with a slight pinprick of spices and bitterness

Memories...

Perhaps 2007 Vintage, Showing 7.9% abv:
As soon as opening the bottle, a ton of carbonation comes out - fills the glass with head. Deep pitch black coloured body with a dense large brown coloured head. Aroma of grapes, yeast, bread, chocolate, cherries and a bit of a lactic character. Full-bodied; Assertive fake sugar flavour up front with a cherry and grape sweetness, fading to a creamy and almost milky taste. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, a ton of yeast and a lot of roasty flavours - but the coffee and chocolate comes out the most. Overall, a good and strong imperial stout - but perhaps a bit too sweet and yeastie for me. I sampled this 341 mL bottle purchased from Depanneur Peluso (Bonisoir) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 09-April-2009, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 05-September-2009.

Piney citric resiny hop nose. Hazy brown amber, lacing off-white head. Honeyish malt, plentifull hops. Wellbalanced citric. Pleasant.
