Jun 14, 2009 I brought this bottle to Hophead22 beer tasting. This was a birthday gift from my buddy Pat, who purchased it at Lone Hill Liquor in Glendora, CA. Very good fresh hop aroma. Very different for an imperial stout. I really really liked this one. Awesome stuff. I want to go buy some more.

May 7, 2009 Bottle: Deep brown with a dense tan head. Very hoppy aroma- piny, grapefruit notes mesh with smooth black malt and dark chocolate- nice. Creamy body- very hoppy flavor- citric NW hops, citrus notes underneath a dry cocoa and resiny hempy character. The finish combines dry cocoa roast and piny herbaceous bitterness. More like a well balanced black IPA. Quite tasty- a very drinkable Imperial Stout.

Apr 8, 2009 Bottle from Capones. Pours a very deep brown with amber notes when held to the light with a deep tan rich creamy head that laced. Aroma of fresh floral, piney and lightly spicy hops along with a sweet roasted malt character, caramel, milk chocolate and some light coffee. Smelled like a fresh Victory Storm King. Flavor of rich roasted malt, coffee, caramel, some piney and grapefruit hop character and bitter chocolate. Loads of hop bitterness, alcohol well hidden for 11%.

Mar 29, 2009 Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a clingy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of fresh piny hops with some underlying sweet roasty dark caramel and chocolate malts. Body starts with pretty good fullness and sticky dark caramel malts and resiny green piny hops. Finishes drier and bittersweet with a good hop character throughout. A nice imperial stout.

Mar 28, 2009 Comes via a generous trade from ditmier, you rock Eric!
Pours deep darkness with nice mocha head. The aroma is black strap molasses, licorice, mild malts, a sense of alcohol and soft vague hoppiness. The taste starts with pine hop and grassy hop bitterness, a bit of resiny bitterness and followed by molasses. By midway these notes sort of flow into chocolate slowly turning into roasty malts. The finish has some pine hop bitterness and some modest roasty malt astringency hanging on into the after taste.
