Jul 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours near black with a medium brown head. Aroma is mostly chocolate with a slight alcohol presence. Flavor is somewhat dry and sweet compared to most beers of this style. I did notice the ABV is a little lower than most imperial stouts I’ve had. Flavors tend to dissipate and the beer is rather sweet, but this is a very good beer nonetheless.

Jun 24, 2009 Bottle. Opaque black pour with a thick brown head. Aroma is nutty and roastged with hints of dark fruits. Thin prickly carbonation bubbles are the first things I notice, too thin of a mouthfeel for the style. That being said, the flavor isnt bad, dark fruits stand out with chocalate and roasted flavors shining through.

Jun 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with AtlAggie. Pours black with a moderate light brown head that lasted through the first two sips and left partial lace. There is barely any aroma to speak of. There is perhaps a trace amount of chocolate, but that’s about it. The flavor is milk chocolate and malt. Very mild bitterness at the finish. An underwhelming imperial stout.
