Pitch black pour. Little aroma. Mostly dark malts. Taste has a lot of dark heavy malts. Not a lot of coffee or chocolate which I was hoping for but not bad. Founders blows this away though.

hold your breath, come with me .. this was a bit of a disappointment, i guess i am spoiled on US impy stouts ... good roast quality ... low foam .. great label (tap handle) ... honestly a bit boring, easy to drink, but wheres the beef, no real uniqueness ... i am really happy i tried it but what else ...

On tap at Flying Saucer. Has a dark brown with a creamy light tan head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a roasted malt with chocolate and smoke. Good sticky lacing along the glass. The taste is a roasted coffee and caramel. Easy to drink a good imperial stout from Belhaven.

Appears brown in the glass, with a spider-like, wispy and thin head that is nearly white, maybe a little tan. Aroma is mainly dominated by dark fruits (grapes, plums, apples), but also has some very light notes of cocoa, caramel and cookie. Flavor is pretty well balanced for a dead, filtered beer. Dark fruits, with hints of caramel, cocoa. It’s a fairly decent beer.

Tap at Falling Rock. Dark black beer with thin tan head. Strong bitter chocolate and sour flavors. Very roasty. More thin than I was expecting for an imperial stout.

Tap at Gman after the 2nd Houston Tasting. Great black color with nice creamy head. Nose of chocolate and faint pitted fruits. Flavor is creamy chocolate, raisin and coffee. Enjoyable.
