Poured black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and caramel. Very strong alcohol start and finish with hints of malt and coffee trying to come through but couldn’t. Another Avery brew overpowered by alcohol. I suggest any other stout.

Nov 29, 2008 Not bad, but not my favorite imperial. Too much head and too much alcohol taste to compete with the best. Still good though. Roasted oak, molasses, chocolate. Maybe a hint of whiskey.

does not count  Nov 29, 2008 Black tar in a glass: brief, minimal head. Licorice smell. Heavy oak, bourbon, raisins, molasses, with an almost overwhelming alcohol finish. Not a traditional imperial, but a well-named raunchy character suitable for the most extraordinary of occasions.

Nov 1, 2008 Almost black pour with a reddish brown head. Nice aroma of sweet fruits, malt. Flavor is sweet with a bit of a dry finish. Alcohol is present especially as it warms. Pretty good stuff.
