Nov 27, 2009 Espresso black pour with a foamy beige head. Nice balanced aroma - smoky, malty, earthy, roasty, with nice bittersweet chocolate and cocoa notes - no detectable alcohol, at least to me, in the aroma. Nice flavor too - more chocolate and earth notes, also a nice nuttiness, with some toffee and banana. Nice on the palate, smooth and dry with little carbonation. Overall, a very nice stout. Nothing out of the ordinary about this one, just a nice, classic, well-balanced stout

Nov 12, 2009 Pours a dark black brown color with medium to large sized tan head. Boozy with lots of dark chocolate, coffee, and a little bit of smoke, and a decent hop presence. Medium weight and medium to long finish. Actually not too bad.

Nov 11, 2009 Black thick pour with a thin off white head. Roasted grain, chocolate, toffee and hop aroma. Smooth malt body with lots of chocolate, roasted grains and dark fruit. Has a fair amount of aggressive hop in the taste, too. Damn good stout.

Nov 7, 2009 (22 oz. bottle from Kappy’s, cellared for 8 mos. after purchase) Pours very, very dark brown with a thin tan head that mostly stays. Aroma of big dark chocolate and sweet dark fruits. Mouthfeel smooth and sticky, very lightly fizzy. Just about the right amount of heft for the style and almost velvety. Light weepy, webby lacing and a syrupy film. Flavor just about matches the aroma with big dark, bittersweet chocolate and dark fruit notes. Some hints perhaps of rum, brandy or molasses. Slightly hot. Lingering bitter dark chocolate aftertaste. A nice Imp Stout.

Nov 6, 2009 Black with a brown head. Very simple imperial stout that is basically just roasted and hoppy with light notes of caramell both in flavour and aroma. Smells inviting but flavour doesnt deliver near the amount of flavour I’d expect from the nose and the fact that this is a imperial stout. Ok.

Oct 24, 2009 22 ounces at the Bayou. Pours a dark brown color with a nice thick beige head. The aroma is nice; mellow chocolates and malts, coffee too. The flavor is very nice and easy; loads of chocolate, lightly roasted malts, sweet flavors of molasses, earthy and somehow mellow. Very good.
