Dec 11, 2009 On tap at PP SB. Pours a thin looking blackish with a medium off white head and good lace. Smells of light roasted malts, sweet with some light chocolate and vanilla. Tastes pretty good. Chocolate and sweet roasted malts. Marshmallow and a touch of alcohol. Pretty thin overall, good carbonation. I was told its 12%. I don’t know about that.

Dec 7, 2009 Tasted at the 13th Annual Strong Ale Fest on 12/5/2009. This imperial stout pours a dark black color from the tap. Medium sized tan foamy head with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and some vanilla. A medium bodied Imperial Stout. The malts are chocolate, coffee, roasted malts. The hops are earthy. Nice balance between the coffee, chocolate, roasted malts and hops. Good carbonation. A deceptive Imperial Stout. Lots of flavor, and a far amount of alcohol but it does not taste that huge. Nicely made. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Aug 28, 2009 Draft @ Toronado. Wow, this beer did not taste like 9.5%. Pours a deep coffee brown with a small beige ring. Tons of coffee on the nose as well as some bittersweet chocolate. Flavor was bittersweet with some cocoa dust and a light hint of booze.....decent.
