Aug 1, 2006 Appearance: Pours a very dark black with a frothy tan head.
Smell: Caramel molasses and raisin fill the nose.
Taste: This beer is complex and vinous. Layer by layer it peeled away a new flavor sweet and smooth the bitter sweet chocolate and coffee bean then the vanilla and molasses and then the finish has a nice hop presence. Beautiful!
Mouthfeel: Creamy & smooth. So incredibly smooth.
Drinkability: There is a reason this should be one of the highest ranked stouts; because it is freaking good! I could very easily session this beer despite the 6.70% ABV.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!

Jul 27, 2006 Deep brown color - medium light head. Aroma of caramel, coffee and firewood. Flavor is quite rich, with lots of roasted malt and coffee flavors. Body is smooth and creamy and floats over the tongue. Finish is smooth with just a hint of toastyness. Warming and flavorful - very nice!

Jul 14, 2006 Bottle thanks to OhioDad: Pours a barely transparent dark brown with a nicely lacing tan head. Sweet milk chocolatey aroma has good caramel and lightly roasted malty presence. Starts sweet and toasty with some good bready caramel malty flavor. Nicely balanced, smooth and drinkable.

Jun 18, 2006 Pours brown/black with a brown head. Smells of sweet chocolate coffee. The flavor is much the same, but even sweeter, there must be some extra sugar thrown in here. It is very carbonated as well. The finish is a smooth roasted coffee.

May 23, 2006 22oz. bomber thanks to Porterhouse. Dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts and milk chocolate. Nice roasty, coffee flavor with a mildly bitter hop finish. Goes to show that a stout doesn’t have to be an imperial to have lots of flavor.
