smell a bit funky, it has both smoke and tartness. the taste is decent and it has its qualities, yet there is something off about it. still its worth a try.

The aroma is smokey with vinegar, salt water, BBQ, leaves, and coffee. The appearance is dark brown with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma and bad. The palate is thick. I am so confused by this oddest of beers.

Thanks to goryshkewych for this one Bottle poured in to a sniffer produced a fingers worth of tan head that goes to a ring of lace. The body on this one is jet black no light coming thru at all Aromas of this is dominated by roasted malts some fruits as well the Belgian yeast aroma shows as it warms Flavor is a little bitter from the roasted malts but there is a slight fruity sweetness in the end. In a strange way it kind of reminds me of a sour Medium mouthfeel not much carbonation on the tongue The brew kind of grows on you. I could drink a few of these maybe space apart a little. Overall an interesting brew and it has Pomegranate so it must be good for you

tasted with the phoenix crew. provided, yet again, by sparky27... holy hell! this is an imperial stout?! pours dark brown with a small tannish head. aroma is ashy, cream, coffee, quite tart and possibly smoky. the flavor is... odd... loads of ash with some coffee, cream and dry, roasty grain. the finish is like biting into a pomegranite seed... a bit earthy and dry. light to medium body with prickly carbonation.

Bottle at Cbus 11. Pours dark brown nearly black with a smallish tan colored head. Aroma is yeast, chocolate, light roast. Flavor is chocolate, yeast, dark fruits, light toast. Palate is medium bodied, a lttle thin for my taste, medium carbonation, finsihed bitter. Pretty decent stuff, a little more body I would say this is damn good.
