Jun 16, 2009 Bottle - 330ml. Pours a dark brown body with low carbonation and a thin beige foamy/creamy head. Malty/hoppy aroma with vineous and plummy hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Taste is well balanced and surprisingly mild. It carries plummy and yeasty notes. Once again, alcohol is barely detectable. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Enjoyable.

Jun 7, 2009 330ml Bottle: Aroma of slight cream, slight cocoa, malts, chocolate milk, and a hint of tartness. Poured brown in color with a small, off-white head that lasted as a film on top of the beer. Cloudy. Not sparkling. Full of very large particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium sweet and ever so slightly tart. Tastes of chocolate, cream, slight wood, ash, slight roasted malts, a little malted milk. Medium body. Very chalky texture. Average carbonation. Chocolate, slight cream, and slight tar finish is very chalky and dry. 10.5%ABV is totally hidden.

May 17, 2009 Dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small head. Aroma is quite roasty. Lots of roasted malts, chocolate, and a bit of dark fruit in there as well. Flavor is a bit winey. Flavors of grape, smoke, chocolate. Very smooth on the palate. For an imperial stout, this is very easy to drink. Very good overall.

May 9, 2009 bottle, pours dark mahogany, with a thin to medium off white head. Wonderful aroma of red wine, carmel, candy sugar, plum and raisin. Flavors are burnt sugar, sweet raisin, yeast, and a light bready malt note. Very nice, has similar characteristics to other Belgian stouts I’ve had, more of a dark brown ale. Easy to drink at 10.5. Nice!

May 6, 2009 Bottle. Cellar temperature. Pours dark maroon brown. Dark red fruit nose. Very vinous aroma’s at first, then lactic acid and finishes with smoked caskwood. Sweet nose, sour finish. Not really an imperial stout but rather interesting nonetheless.
