Nov 28, 2008 Pours a blackhole like black. sucking in light. Nice thin cream/almond colored head. Nice aroma od burnt coffee and a nice smack of chocolate malt and a burnt rum odor. Huge flavor of burnt coffee and hints of cola and chocolate/caramel mixed with a tiny bit of a syrupy rum. A little thin for an imperial stout. Still delicious but I would just call this a Stout. Delicious but just a stout. This beer is very drinkable. The alcohol is virtually un-noticeable. Very good.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle, thanks to my in-laws from VT. Aroma roasted malt and coccoa. Poured a near black light tan cap. Flavor was bitter chocolate and coffee and nice bit of hops too. Palate was smooth and enjoyable. Overall tasty.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle from a trade. Pour is dark brown nearly black. Creamy beige head. Lacing present in the glass. Aroma is roasy malt and chocolate. Has just a faint metallic note, but not much. Flavor is chocolate and bitter. Decent palate. Dry Finish. Pretty nice beer...worth seeking out.

Oct 31, 2008 Pours black with just hints of mahogany - looks like an espresso coffee - with a light tan head that leaves a good lace. This a chewy, sweet imperial that is very smooth. Good carbonation. Nose is roasted coffee. Flavor is roasted coffee and chocolate with just a hint of hops. $4.19 for a 22oz bottle from Ruggeri & Sons Greenfield, MA.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle pours black with off white head. Has aroma of subtle roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium body. Flavor is bitter chocolate, roasted malt, and some ash. Overall just a middle of the road imperial stout. Not a standout.
