Commercial Description:
A dark rich creamy ale. This is our version of this classic stout style. With its dense black color and velvety texture, our stout's flavor hints of chocolate liquorice and coffee. This ale is truly a meal in a glass.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured clear dark brown color with an average fizzy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate roasted chocolate malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium chocolate and roasted coffee sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable complex beer.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown color with a small light cocoa head that receedes to nothing. Lots of bubbles in teh body and sticking to the side of the glass. Nose is a rich chocolate and coffee note with roasted malts. Palate is oily with a fizzy afterthought and a burnt touch. Flavors of chocolate and roast dark malts with a touch of light coffee and a sticky finish.

Bottle pours deep brown and black. Light tan head that leaves a great lacing. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, bitter cocoa and slight smoke. Nice deep chocolate and roasted malt flavor. Slight burnt flavor. A bit thinner than expected but very nice. Leaves a nice coating in your mouth as the flavor lasts.

Poured from a 22oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is a complete black with a slight light brown head The smell is a conyac flavor to it. A little maple syrip flavor. The taste is of marmalade and a little chocolate flavor. The flavor of this brew is engulfing. While sipping it the arorma will tease your nostrals. The feal is surprisingly light for a imperial stout. Goes down well and is quite smooth. and light.

Bottle thanks to Cletus. Pours with a near black body underneath a medium sized tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, cola, licorice, coffee and leather. Taste is chocolate, roasted barely, licorice and chocolate milk. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. A good, but rather forgettable Imperial stout.
