Bottle from Douglas88. Poured into a snifter motor oil black with a brown head. Aroma of dark roast, chocolate, and some alcoholic heat. The flavor is amazing. Roasted and chocolate malt with a touch of bitterness in the finish. The flavors come in and out and finally finish on a lingering sweet chocolate note. Low carbonation. Silky smooth with light alcohol warmth for the 10.6% listed.

Aug 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle in trade from MaltOMeal- thanks! Served in tumbler- poured blacker than midnight in a bad thunderstorm, low-medium carbonation, 4mm tan head formed and stayed for a couple of smokes. Aroma of hearty dark chocolate, coffee that’s been sitting on the pot for 24 hours, and roasted malt. Hits the mouth with a wide body, malt is heavy and full of attitude, roasted characteristics make themselves known very easily with notes of smoke in the background, all around very clingy on the cheeks, finish creeps away slowly. Damn right!

Aug 19, 2008 On tap at Pocono Brewing Company. Black pour with a small brown head. Rich chocolatey, roasted aroma. Outstanding flavor, deep deep chocolate and perfectly roasted. Just a really great beer.

does not count  Aug 19, 2008 Looks very appetizing, and the aroma i s very rich with hints of coffee and chocolate. The after-taste is a bit too sharp and powerfull to give it a better grade, but all in all a very good imperial stout.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle, winter 06/07. Black and opague. Roast, dark chocolate and a hint of licorice in the aroma. Malty, salty flavor with licorice, cacao and dark chocolate, coming up strongly in the aftertaste. Full bodied, just a bit alcoholic, but well balanced.
