Pours black with a small tan head. smells of dark malts, swet roast, and hints of dark chocolate and coffee. the flavor is pretty hot, moreso than even the 11% lets on. Pretty intense brew. Traces of molasses and coffee, along with dark chocolate and toasted malts formulate its flavor profile. Pretty big and intense brew. Very bold and i like that in my impys.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Sampled at the bockyhorsey event. Courtesy of Nick I think? Thanks! Pours a super dark brown. Aroma is of oatmeal, roasted grain, and some alcoholic punch. Taste has lots of alcohol, roast, and carbonation. Little bit of vanilla and somewhat smoky. Too carbonated for a RIS in my book, but good otherwise. Perhaps give it some time to age out some of the booziness. tdcritch (112), Missouri, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 8, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Nose is roasted malt, chocolate, anise, chicory, and some hops. Flavor is very similar with some coffee, anise sweetness, earth, and noticeable hops. Medium mouthfeel and enough sweetness to it, but still some hops to it. Interesting. SoLan (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA
