Apr 17, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of yobdoog. Pours a murky, menacing pitch black color with a one finger tan, foamy head that settles quickly to nothing. Aroma is somewhat roasted, somewhat floral hoppy with notes of chocolate, brown sugar, slight notes of coffee and toffee. Flavor is roasted and malty with a fairly high hop profile. Notes of coffee, toffee, brown sugar, and molasses present as well. Generally medium body with a hoppy and bitter coffee finish. Think they overdid the hops a bit on this one.

Apr 13, 2009 Another great bottle from CaptainCougar. Thanks again Tom. Opaque dark brown color with hilites at the edges. The tan head went nowhere. Aromas of dark toasted malt and light treacle. Full bodied with smoothly creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark toast, mild treacle, and hop bitter. The soul drains away with the sugars. Finishes mildly sweet, darkly toasted bitter. It’s an extremely good ale.

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle from bhensonb. This opaque brown ale poured with a thin tan head and a coffee aroma. The flavor is a very mellow blend of roasted malt and hops with a creamy toffee finish. Lots of chocolate.

Apr 7, 2009 Bottle shared at SL... Black in color, decent little head. Nice aroma of roasted malts... Taste is close to the nose... lots of roasted malts with a touch of coffee.. Kind of one dimensional... Not a bad beer but just not much to write about.

Apr 6, 2009 This beer does not match up with others of its variety. Decent price however would rather pay a little more to drink others RISs.

Apr 6, 2009 Brown amber with a dead body. Malty aroma and characterized by a strong, saccharine, dusted malt ball flavor. Another malt bomb gone overboard. Extreme profusion of melanoidins. Tasty, but unbalanced, and a bit too much in doses larger than a schooner. An atypical imperial stout as it lacks the deep roastiness often found in the style and is more bent toward chocolate and maltiness.
