Dec 6, 2009 Looked like ink, tasted like used motor oil. I am shocked that this beer rated so high. The acl content is nice but that’s it. I have been let down by everything Arcadia has offered. They have proven to be a sub-standard brewery.

Oct 1, 2009 A 12 oz. 07 bottle from Lunar Brewing Co. The pour was black/brown and like thin oil, with a brownish tan head that reduced to a bubbly layer and left a small ring and a few spots on the glass as the beer disappeared. The aroma was very roasty, with molasses sweetness, wood, a little bacon, and a touch of leather. The flavor added some smoke, good alcohol presence, and a lasting bitter/dryness. Very tasty and cellared well.

Sep 27, 2009 This is a very good Imperial stout. Nice balance of flavors. Beautiful chocolate head fades to minimal lacing. Nice sweetness to balance the bitter. Nice, full mouthfeel. Good finish.
