Palidor19 (1194), Brandon, Florida, USA Jul 17, 2008 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. nick76 (1960), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 17, 2008 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. Pastor (228), Maine, USA Jul 17, 2008 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
hellbilly (768), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Jul 16, 2008 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. ogglethorp (750), Ohio, USA Jul 13, 2008 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.
