Feb 15, 2009 12oz bottle. Opaque black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and dark chocolate. Flavor is dominated by dark roasted malts with accents of dark fruit, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. A balanced Imperial with a great roasted, smokey flavor. One of Ohio’s best.

Feb 13, 2009 courtesy of sirpsycho
pours black with beige head and thin golden lacing.
Aroma roasted malts with light touch of chocolate and coffee.
Taste, plenty of malts, chocolate. Warming mouthfeel of the alcohol and thin addition of coffee.
Very tasty and solid imp. stout but it pales in comparison to its aged barrel version..

Feb 12, 2009 Updated: Feb 13, 2009Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Blackish brown pour, with a tan head and lacing. Nose has roasted chocolate, coffee, some caramel, slight alcohol, and bitter. Flavor has lots of roasted dry coffee and a thick malty toast, with coffee and chocolate intertwined throughout. Very nice. Bitter, dry, and full-bodied, and quite easy to drink.

Jan 28, 2009 Courtesy of hellbilly 12oz bottle. Aroma of oatmeal and chocolate. Black body with chocolate colored head head. Flavor kinda light for an imperial. Bitterness shows and and body texture thin. Decent coffee and some dry coco flavors. Some sweet roasted aftertaste on palate. Thanks Josh.

Jan 25, 2009 On tap @ Barcade Midwest Fest. Black with flat head. Medium chocolaty aromawith some roastiness. Fairly rich chocolaty flavor with medium fruitiness and somewhat dry finish. Not as rich and full bodied as expected. Could have been poured more aggressively to give it some head and churn the flavors.

Jan 25, 2009 Deep black beer with a thick creamy tan head. Rich sweet cocoa/chocolate aroma. Heavily toasted with a rich deep caramel middle and a soft vanilla character under the very rich chocolate sweetness. Big and intense yet surprisingly restrained. Soft roastiness with a bit of soft licorice aroma as well. A little bit of ashy/charry flavour Really lovely, balanced sweet imperial stout. Lingering tar and a salty roastiness.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottle: Shared by JoeMcPhee Thanks! Dark pour, opaque with a dense tan film of head. Lots of dark malt in the aroma- dark chocolate notes, gritty without being overly burnt with a touch of ashy character. Slick, silky feel. Big but smooth. Oily dark chocolate flavor- tarry, lightly salty. The initial huge body is balanced by a solid bitterness. A big, easily drinkable Imperial Stout. Well made.
