Oct 13, 2008 Dark brown pour with a creamy tan head. Roasted malt aroma, with some nice chocolate notes. Mmmmmm. Very tasty beer. Sweet roasted malt - perfectly balanced roast flavor. Pretty sweet. Chocolate, caramel, hazelnut. Not terribly complex, but delicious regardless. Very nice, full, slightly slick mouthfeel. Great beer.

Oct 13, 2008 Aroma: currants, caramel. Delicious chocolate. Very roasty. Tons of chocolate with some coffee undertones. Finishes pretty dry with a nice hop profile, although it is overshadowed by the lingering chocolaty goodness in the finish. Body is perfect, perhaps a bit much stinging carbonation.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle from Secret Santa. Almost black and opague. Raisin and roast in the aroma. Malty sweetish, roasty flavor with raisin, blackcurrant and a touch of caramel. Some earthy hops in the finish. Almost perfectly balanced, tasty brew.

Oct 6, 2008 Pours pitch black with a great medium tan head that sticks around. Aroma is very roasted and heavy of coffee, chocolate and a great sweet alcohol scent. Flavor really starts off with the coffee flavor, moving into the chocolate and finishing with a very dry alcohol bite. Stout is very smooth and heavy, leaving great lacing along the glass. Really a great example of the style. I HAVE to find this one again!

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle bought in Buffalo and shared ghetto-style @ Niagara falls bus station. Opaque black, tan head. Coffee-forward aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Smooth as Barry White. Beautiful roasted coffee, toasted malt, and a splash of tasty bourbon at the end. This beer kicks ass, love it.

Sep 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of my Summer Secret Santa. Pours black with a moderate light brown head that lasted until mid-glass and left surprisingly little foam on the glass. The aroma, while pleasant, is surprisingly mild for an imperial stout with some roasted malt, chocolate and a bit of alcohol on the nose. The flavor is more in line with an imperial stout with plenty of roasted malt along with chocolate and a bit of licorice. Moderate hops bitterness at the finish with some astringency that lingers well beyond the swallow. As the beer warms, an alcohol flavor develops towards the finish. Not a burn, just the flavor. A solid beer but not as bold as I was expecting.

Sep 14, 2008 Bottle - pours an oily black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, some smoked wood, coffee and dark dried fruits. Flavor is big and roasty - some alcohol notes - nice hop crispness to help balance the roastiness. Some phenolyic flavors, but not distracting from how good this beer is.
