Bottle with the Club. We enjoyed thisone while listening to Black Flag on the stereo. Pours black with a beige head and lacings. Strong smells of hops. Bitter with loads of hops aromas(Chinook?). Tastes like a symbiosis of a IIPA and a Imperial stout. Gave me stupid plastic burbs.

Bottle conditioned bomber from Hi Time. Thick and extremely effervescent caramel head fades quickly. Solid black in the body. Faint aromas of well-used leather and the freshness of hops. Dense and creamy mouth feel. Coffee, dark chocolate, smokey malt, more hops at the end. The eleven pct. alcohol is fully felt in the warmth at the finish.

drukket mens vi hørte Black Flag for fuld skrald. Sort som kul med et stort beigefarvet skum. Dufter af masser af kaffe, humle og bitter chokolade. Smager af bitter chokolade, kaffe, humle græs og noget der minder lidt om plastik. Lang bitter eftersmag.

Courtesy of sebletitje. 2008 vintage pours deep black with nice mocha head. The aroma is dark roasted malts, hints of raisins, burnt malts, faint olive brine, molasses and a leafy hop vegetable note. The mouth feel is somewhat thin to begin but gets creamy into the finish. The taste begins with faint olive brine, over dry hopped vegetable notes and a mild cherry hard candy sensation. It then moves into rich chocolate, burnt malts and lingering bitter hoppiness. Not nearly as hoppy as I was expecting and certainly tastier too.

courtesy of BA trader. Pours black, brownish head. Aroma is malty with some nice roastiness. Taste, hoppy and malty with chocolate, coffee. I found the beer to have a lot of hops, but the overall mouthfeel remained highly enjoyable. I would drink this one again, under the banner of Jolly Roger.

Brewed in the USA..... Pours a very dark brown - black color with a small off white head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and toffee. Taste is of dark malts, coffee, and hops. The mouthfeel is thin and sticky and finishes very very hoppy. This is one of the hoppiest stouts that ive ever had. There was also some wonderful spider lacing in the glass. Overall, pretty enjoyable.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of hops, pine citrus, chocolate, malts, alcohol, light coffee, slight roasting, and light grapefruit. Poured deep deep brown in color with a large, dense, tan head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Lightly sparkling. Full of medium to large-sized particles throughout. Excellent lacing. Flavor us light to medium sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of hops, roasted malt, chocolate, pine, slight burnt malt, alcohol, light citrus, slight tar, and coffee. Full body. Thick, viscous, lightly sticky, slightly dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Roasty, hoppy, chocolate, citrus, and alcohol finish is lightly dry and lightly sticky.

Bottle courtesy of sebletitje. Pours black with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and slightly warm alcohol. Very good.
