Black body with a luscious thick tan head. Very nice to look at.
Very roasted,burnt malty aromas,slight spicy and a bit lactic.
Bitter, burnt, toasted flavours,intense really in its bitterness, like 80% Cacoa chocolate,bitter lemon, even some spicy ginger as other have noted.
Nice palate, thick but not so smooth!
I think this one has some intense malt bitterness an aquired taste, but I liked it.

Oct 9, 2008 bomber from Kegbear. Thanks. Pours about as dark as a beer can pour.The taste is dominated by the roasted malt but these also some chocolate, especially in the aftertaste. One of the most quaffable Imp. Stouts I have ever had. Would drink again

Sep 15, 2008 Pours like motor oil from the bomber with a trim brown head. Smells of coffee and tastes predominatly of dark cocoa, red/black pepper, and sweet malts. Balanced flavor with a velvety mouthfeel. Highly drinkable, especially for an imperial stout.

Sep 8, 2008 Tap @ Full Sail PIlsener Room. Decent imperial stout, taste of chocolat and mocha. Some caramel, lacks a bit on the bitterness. Still quite ok.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours pitch black with a thin tan head. Has a roasty aroma that reminds me of coffee. Has a medium heavy body with a fair amount of carbonation. Taste is dominated by chocalate and roast coffee. Smooth aftertaste. I had this brew with a cigar and it complimented the cigar very well. A sublte smokiness added by the cigar made this a much better brew. I rated it on its own merits, though. With the cigar it goes over a 4.0 easily. Overall I really enjoyed this brew and would drink again with a cigar anytime.
