Jan 27, 2009 Batch 2, Nov 2006. Near black color pour with a small creamy brown head that lasts a while. Dark roasted malt and coffee in the aroma, along with chocolate, licorice and alcohol. Flavor has all of that as well as some nice dark fruits coming through, and a good hop bite on the finish. Thick and creamy on the palate. This is a good brew.

Jan 23, 2009 Black colored with little brown head. Strong licoricy aroma with vinous notes, raisinny notes with vanilla, mild alcohol and berries also here. Medium to full bodied, oily palate. Flavor is rich too with licorice and wine dominating, raisins here too. Aftertaste is licoricy still with mild alcohol and vinous wooden note. Fine one

Jan 20, 2009 Black with big, foamy brown head / Big complex roast malt nose / Full bodied, moderately sweet, with rich malts, good balance, and long, but hot finish / Flavors of roast barley, nuts, dark fruit, dark roast coffee, and bittersweet chocolate / Outstanding flavors, but overly hot finish detracts.

Jan 17, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a very dark brown almost black with a very small paper thin tan head that diminishes rather quickly to nothing. The aroma is a roasted malt with chocolate and coffee. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is roasted malt with brown sugar coffee and a bitter finish. Does not hide the alcohol well as it is very present in the finish and is a bit overpowering. Still a very good imperial stout from Avery.

Jan 8, 2009 Pours a shiny black, with a very pretty dark tan head. Smells of burnt nuts and caramel - maybe a peanut brittle?, (good) beef jerky, anise / licorice, and some stale coffee. Wow is the alcohol ever readily apparent. This has some burn to it. Flavor is a bit sweeter than the aroma lets on - some chocolate and molasses comes through, but this is still very, very dry. Thick, and syrupy, with a bit of licorice as well (the anise they mention). Man is this stuff powerful - very hot!

Jan 7, 2009 Pours motor oil black with a cream colored head. Smells like burnt peanuts,malt and hops with a bit of coffee, smell almost charred. Caramel, roasted chicory, toasted marshmallow, and burnt coffee flavor. Very sticky mouthfeel, alcohol is apparent. This one packs a punch. Very intense tasting, a bit of sweetness makes it enjoyable
