Poured fairly thick with a slowly dissipating beige head. Medium carbonation level and not as opaque is I was expecting. When held up to light I got a mix of dark brown and ruby. Aroma is slightly more complex than most imperials but not overwhelming - chocolate, coffee, alcohol, and a little licorice. Flavor is also not overwhelming and in softer than I expected. Mildly bitter with chocolate, coffee and a unique sweetness that was balanced by the somewhat hidden alcohol level. 22 oz bottle was finsihed very quickly, so I’d have to say this beer is also extremely drinkable.

Nov 29, 2008 On tap at the Avery tasting room, Nov 29, 2008. Poured black with a tan, diminishing head. Tasted roasted malts, raisins, and cherries. Finish was slightly bitter with a light lingering alcohol burn. This will taste much better with cellaring.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a dark black with tan head. Dark fruit, chocolate, caramel malt, hints of coffee and smoky malt. Pretty typical IRS, Very tasty, but nothing that stands out for the style.

Nov 27, 2008 Tasting at Brewtopia. Finally I get to try this. A very nice stout indeed. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, molasses, dried fruit and some roastiness lead to a very nice beer on the tongue. It is a tad thin, but the flavors or chocolate, coffe and molasses are balanced well by a dose of hops. I liked this and will drink more.
