Jan 16, 2007 Updated: Dec 15, 2009Pours black, with a little light tan head. Aroma of rosted malts, coffee, alcohol, burnt/smoked malt, and hops. Mouth is a little thin for an imperial stout. Flavor is very good. Roasted/burnt malts, coffee, chocolate, and some hops. the finish is a little bitter and has a nice alcohol warmth. This is a very good I.S.

Jan 15, 2007 Pitch black body with a rocky brown head. Licorice, chocolate, and hops in the aroma. Very smooth mouthfeel with chocolate, moving towards bitter coffee in the end. Very good.

Jan 7, 2007 Bottle from HogTownHarry (I think...). Rating #1700. Pours a dark brown-black with a thin tan head. Aroma is very nice - dark, almost burnt malt, fresh roasted coffee beans, green hops. Body is light for an impy, but made it quite easy to drink - perhaps TOO easy! Flavour is very nice, big & balanced, with all of the expected notes in place - coffee, cocoa, roasted malt, warm hops. Nothing wacky or avant garde going on here, just a solidly made imperial that I really enjoyed.

Jan 5, 2007 This beer pours a dark coffee color with abundant carbonation and abundant tan head.
Aroma is sweet coffee and caramel, and is wonderful.
Taste is slightly sweet up front, and the finish is coffee, oakiness, and complex. It is quite good, but I didn’t feel the urge to guzzle it down because it was so delicious.
Mouthfeel is slightly sticky and pretty good. I also found this beer to be pretty drinkable. All-around quite good and easily the peer of Victory Storm King Stout.

Jan 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours a jet black color with a fairly small dark tan colored head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, coffee. Flavor is on the sweet side, chocolate, coffee, roasted malt. Palate is full bodied, mildly carbonated, smooth and creamy, finishes bitter and slightly warm. Great stuff.

Jan 3, 2007 Bottle Courtesy of Santa. Rating #550. Pours a dark body with good size head. Aroma is of roasted chocolate malt. Very sweet taste that is very smooth and balanced. Light mouthfeel which is odd compared to the aroma and look of the beer. Sweet malt and very low hop presence. Very good. almost had a Expedition quality to it and I would love to try the BA of this. Cheers!

Jan 3, 2007 Huge thanks to shigadeyo for this beaut. Pours black with a darkish tan head and nice tan lacing. Wonderful aroma of rich malts and touches of coffee, chocolate and hops. Flavor is soooo damn smooth. Sort of creamy to the palate. A light touch of smoke along with a slight bitter hop finish. Top notch!!

Jan 1, 2007 Great beer to finish my night with the Great Lakes...Bottle with a vigorous pour gave a medium tan fluffy head.
Hits all the drum beats a Imperial Stout should- chocolate, malt, coffee, etc. Great beer that made me happy...wishing it came in a bomber, but alas the 12oz trade was fan-freaking-tastic.
Great beer to drink while watching an Evening with Kevin Smith to warm you up to enjoy the humor just a bit more....
