BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 11, 2008 (USA) I agree with fellow knight (moses) about this one !! Pours a dark brown almost black color with a med tan head. Aroma is of chocolate, coffee, and malts. There is some bitterness but on the mild side. I recommend this imperal stout, go get some. MuttyD (93), Cambridge, USA Jul 11, 2008 Black pour with foamy tan head. Burnt/roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, bitter. Great imperial stout. beerheart (237), Erie, Colorado, USA Jul 8, 2008 Welll, when you’ve had the Oak Aged Yeti, this is a bit of a come down. But honestly, this is a world class stout. It has the full body, maltiness, chocolate and coffee notes, and other characteristics that one expects in a stout. But the hop profile is different: this beer is actually more hopped than most IPAs. And it works. The hops don’t overpower on the tongue, nor do they linger on the finish. They are well blended in what is an astounding beer. moseslikesbeer (183), conestoga, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 6, 2008 Bottle, had this at a tasting last night and it blew me away but did not finish that well overall with the rest of the tasters and I have to disagree! Nice dark body and creamy head. Aroma of Roasted nuts and Chocolate and coffee and malt goodness! It has some hops in the taste but it didn’t turn me off and I don’t like a ton of hops. Very smooth for an imperial stout. very think all around in taste and palate. this is not one to be downed quickly and good luck drinking more than one. Drink this if you want a nice stout to snack on. drjay44 (757), Salida, Colorado, USA Jul 5, 2008 Dark, with dark creamy head, great balance, lots of chocolate and coffee overtones, helped to balance the hops. Good. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA Jul 3, 2008 Bottle from Bottle Trek in Eugene, OR. Poured a dark brown almost black. Could definatley taste the hops which gave it a bitter finish. Chocolate and coffee were the primary flavors. All in all a very good beer. timfoolery (482), California, USA Jul 3, 2008 Bottle shipped from Oregon. This brew poured a deep brown/black with good-sized head. The aroma was of coffee and chocolate, and the flavor was consistent. This one had a hint of hops at the end, which kept the palate score from perfect. It’s a little thinner in flavor and palate than Alesmith Speedway, but still very good. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA Jul 2, 2008 The beer pours a deep black with a thick brown creamy head that has great lacing. The nose is a mix of roasted malts, bitter sweet chocolate and coffee. The taste is a deep rich mix of roasted malts, burnt sugar, bitter chocolate and dark fruit. The mouth feel is a lot of carbonation on the tip of the tongue and a watery mouth feel in the middle, The finish is a light bitterness that is medium lasting. Goes great we smoked cheddar.
