Apr 14, 2008 Draught at the 6th Boulder Strong Ale Festival. Pours opaque with an average, frothy, dark brown head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, caramel, chocolate), light hops (grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of heavy alcohol and prunes. Full bodied, creamy and alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate acidity, sweetness, and bitterness.

Nov 27, 2007 2005 vintage on tap at the brewpub on 10/12/07: Pours an oily nearly opaque with dark brown edges and a thin, wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet molten dark chocolate and molasses with some roasty coffee and mild bourbon oak. Body starts with a dense malty viscosity and earthy caramel and bittering hoppy presence toward a bitter molten dark chocolate and oaky bourbon finish. A nice barrel-aged imperial stout.

Oct 16, 2007 Draft @ the BP. Smooth, not overpowering as the 11.5% would lead you to believe. Hints of pineapple, vanilla and coconut. Nice.
