Jan 9, 2008 Decent Imperial. Not up to normal Russian Imperial standards. Dark. Intense flavors. But lacking a certain richness many RIS beers carry.

Nov 28, 2007 Growler fill - Thanks Chad! Pours a dark brown, near black with a small tan head. Aroma is heavy roast with coffee and hints of chocolate. Flavor is like a mocha blended with coffee, roasty, and a little bit fruity. I like the sweet elements into the coffee and the creaminess of the palate quite well on this one.

Nov 27, 2007 Gowler transported from the brewpub by Harlequin. Sweet roasted aroma and roasted toootsie roll flavors. Not enough IBUs for an imperial but pretty tame in general. Flat fromt he 2 day old growler. Not bad though.

Feb 21, 2007 2002 vintage on tap this week. Without a doubt my favorite smelling beer. Aroma is sweeter than most stouts. Taste starts out smoky and picks up a fruitier flavor in the middle. I wish it was available more often.

Nov 14, 2005 Hand bottled sample courtesy of TAR. Pours dark oily brown with only a ring of film. Aroma is dominated by sweet malt and smoke, no coffee detectable to me,(which is good). Slight alcohol burn in the nose. Flavor is all sweet malt up front, with some strange fruit character throught the middle. Fades to a smoky like coffee finish. Very nice overall.
