Dec 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle left in my fridge a few months ago by shawnm213. I didn’t remember that until I tried to remember where it came from. Thanks Shawn, and I owe you one. Pours an opaque brown color with a small tan head. Notes of coffee, dark chocolate, dark roasted malt, burnt toast, caramel, molasses, and cola. Medium bodied, with a chewy mouthfeel. Sweet and roasty, probably overly so. Too smoky, which overwhelms some of the other notes. Not a bad beer but seems a bit clumsily made.

Nov 29, 2009 It has a deep brown, nearly black, color with a medium tan head. The aroma is pretty mild with subtle chocolate malt. The texture is silky and it coats the mouth nicely. The taste is dark chocolate and some caramel with decent coffee finish and aftertaste.

Nov 23, 2009 Poured dark brown with ruby highlights. An ample tan head formed. The aroma was chocolate and dark fruits with some roasted malts coming through. The flavor was dark fruits and chocolate with very little in terms of coffee or roasted malts coming out. The mouthfeel was on the thin side for an IS. Meh.

Oct 26, 2009 12 oz Bottle. Full bodied dark brown color with a thick head. A malty smell with hint of caramel in the taste. Doesn’t sit as heavily as imperial stouts go. Very drinkable and certainly recommended.
