| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Pours a beautiful black with a nice tan head that laces the glass. Aroma is chocolate along with sweet malt. Flavor has the chocolate notes along with a very nice smokiness. Maybe my imagination but I get a bit of the bay in the taste. Just a touch of saltiness. Finish is extremely creamy and smooth. Very good.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Appearance: Pours a beautiful black with a super active creamy head. Once the show is over, a 1/4 inch dense creamy layer remains.
Aroma: Dry roasty malt and touches of coffee and chocolate.
Taste: Dry roasty malt, sharp spicy (almost metalic) bitter hops, and a layer of spiciness that I’ve encountered in beers with Chipotle peppers.
Mouthfeel: Dry, and spicy warmth on the back of my throat.
Overall: A fantastic beer, complex beer that should go with a hearty plate of food. Seems like a lot of care was put into this, and could have easily been a throw everything at the wall Imperial Stout. michael-pollack (2691), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
