Radome from Florida
4.35/5 rDev +3.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Tasted from a 12 oz bottle into a Duvel tulip.
L - Motor oil brown color and opaque even when held up to the light. Light brown head is weak and quickly limited to a ring around the glass (not surprising for a beer of this strength). When swirled, there are strong legs on the glass and slow-moving drifts of lacing.
S - Enticing blend of roasted grains, oak and strong, brandy-like alcohol.
T - Strong malt flavors with lightly burnt grains smoothed out by sweet alcohol. Rich and complex.
F - Thick, silky body with low carbonation. Moderate-strong hops bitterness seems boosted by the lightly acrid roasted grain note. Moderate alcohol warmth seems restrained for the listed ABV.
O - This is a smooth, silky, warming beer for sipping and pondering.

Lone_Freighter from Vermont
4.4/5 rDev +5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Bottle to snifter.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a small tan foamy head settling finely to barely leave any lace.
The aroma had a huge fudge-like, milk chocolatey coated marshmallow fluff/cake-like with enough toasty and roasty coffee blissful character.
The flavor yields to the sweet side with some sticky fudgey/cakey-ness throttling on through the roasty and toasty notes. Mild aftertaste of sticky fudge.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation did seem a bit under but I didn't mind. It was a bit stickier than expected but not cloying. Mild finish of coffee sweetness, marshmallow fluff and milk chocolate/fudge.
Overall, a very nicely done imperial stout well worthy of coming back to.

4/5 rDev -4.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
On tap in Antwerp. Thick creamy tan head. Lace left. Black color.
Very omnipollo like but not cake batter. Sweet and malty. Chocolate, fudge, roasted malts, and vanilla. Smooth and creamy. Very enjoyable, but I liked the adjunct stout I had from them a bit better.
