Jan 14, 2008 Deep dark mahogany, clear, minimal brown head. Nice aroma of cigar-box and leather. Silky palate with stewed figs, raisins, cherry pipe-tobacco, and a nice leathery dryness in the finish. I agree with some other raters that this may not be full-bodied or roasted quite enough to fit into the imperial stout category, but as a porter it is exceptional. I enjoyed this tremendously.

Nov 24, 2009 Sampled from bottle at SMOF. Vintage 07. Dark brown colour, low off-white head. Chocolatey nose, smooth cocoa. Nice aged feel, but not much of madeira or berries. Hm, a little madeira after all. Really malty beer, but lacking in darker malt characteristics. The chocolate tone is light and soft, rounded. Low bitterness. Really lingering flavour. Not very reminiscent of an Imperial Stout, at least not US-style.

Sep 2, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown with ruby tinges and a creamy eggshell head. The aroma has caramel, toast, near-burnt malts, and some sweet chocolate.
Flavour is sweet raisin, chocolate, but not really up to the strength/fullness of an IS. The alcohol is very well masked and all you really get is a bit of warmth.
