Aug 11, 2008 Jeez! These beers gets no appearance points. They always pour with absolutely no head. Overly roasted chocolate nose, some burnt caramel and the lightest wisp of acrid coffee. A light hint of smoke and vinous fruit leads into some licorice and molasses. Bittersweet roastiness, and I am not saying this is undrinkable, because its not, but it has the undersirable qualities that I do not like in a stout, licorice, soy and salt, and its overly roasted. Flaky.

Nov 19, 2008 Wow...after tasting the three brews I have from these guys, might pass on all other offerings. None of these are enjoyable...NONE!!! This beer is a dark mahogany pour with only a few bubbles accumulating to create a head. Burnt malt, overly sweet, and cloying. Strange sourness in the finish. Don’t waste your money!!!

Jul 3, 2009 Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a very dark brown with garnet highlights and a medium sized beige head. The aroma is very sweet malt with fruits. What seems to be missing is the roasted malt. The flavor does pick up a nice roasted quality. It is still on the sweeter side with dark fruits, chocolate, char and light smoke. This seems a bit thinner than most imperial stouts. Enjoyable; much more so than any of the Paradox beers.
