Jun 28, 2009 BOTTLE: jet black oily pour, roasty chocolaty nose. Bitter taste - roasted coffee comes through, and lots of dark chocolate. Ridiculously good - one of the best beers I’ve had.

Jun 27, 2009 So delicously dark you can almost eat it. I cannot wait to try the KBS, if it really is better than this, it will be impressive.

Jun 26, 2009 I picked this up during a trip to Asheville, NC in November ’08 before Founders started showing up in Richmond in Spring ’09. This was my first Founders beer, and it is certainly quite a treat. Pours black as can be. This beer is insanely drinkable. I was very surprised considering that this is a 8.3% imperial stout, many of which are good, but sometimes tough to drink. I immediately get oats and chocolate with a finishing bitter flavor from coffee and hops. This is the breakfast of champions.

Jun 22, 2009 12 oz bottle acquired via trade and consumed while camping Memorial Day in the AM. Pours out pitch black with a massive mocha colored head. Aroma is hefty on roasted coffee, with light chocolate and some molasses as well. The flavor is all roasted coffee save for a very mild chocolate presence for some slight balance. Still extremely tasty though, wish I had a few more.
