Feb 20, 2008 Sample at the Super Terrific Stout Tasting on Feb 16th. This beer pours a nearly opaque black color with a medium light brown head that burns away slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt and coffee at first, with some vanilla in the background later. Rich, creamy body with toasted malt, chocolate and coffee flavors. The finish is somewhat dry with an espresso flavor that leaves a moderately bitter and lingering aftertaste. Pretty solid from start to finish.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle@Home. This one has a moccha and blackcurrant aroma with hints of licorice and vanilla. Very dark brown color, light brown head, good lace. Sweet start and soon hop bitterness comes in together with sweet chocolate and roasted coffee. Nice but average palate.

Feb 18, 2008 Pours black with medium deep brown head. Aroma is of (milk) chocolate. Light flavor of chocolate and coffee. Very thin, almost unnoticeable finish with a hint of hops. Very drinkable, although I expected a bit heavier.

Feb 17, 2008 Pours black with a decent sized head. Aroma of chocolate, citrus hops, molasses, and a touch of coffee. Nice flavor, seems a little thin however. Don’t notice the alcohol.

Feb 15, 2008 Citrus Hop Aroma. Pours dark brown to black thin head. Sweet grapefruit flavor smoked hops in the finish. Smooth but a little dry. I could drink this often.

Feb 12, 2008 A very nice and different impy. Aroma wasn’t as big as most...chocolate and black licorice with a hint of coffee. Pour was the standard near black with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was very roasty and bitter. Nice chocolate and coffee tastes with a hoppiness that I haven’t seen in an imperial stout. Huge carbonation carries the flavors through. Nice beer.

Feb 9, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours an opaque black color with a big clumpy tan head that lasts forever. The aroma was unimpressive with a trace of molasses, sour dates and a touch of roasted malts. Unlike the aroma, the flavor is rich, bold and complex; present: dark biter chocolate, coffee, burnt toast, walnuts and molasses. This one also has a slight biter bite that complements the flavors nicely. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and creamy. The finish is long with lingering biter chocolate. Overall: This is an excellent stout. Recommended
