does not count  Jul 15, 2009 Rich, chocolate raisin aroma
Dark color with a small brownish head
Strong malty flavor. Fruit flavor is very mild. Flavor gets more complex as it warms up.

Jul 14, 2009 Bottle from TheBeerSommelier, thanks matt! Black pour with a flash of tan foam on the top. Aroma of fruit juice and chocolate. Flavor is dark roasted malts, chocolate, with a lightly tart, fruity finish. Nice mouthfeel, rich and smooth drinker. Never really considered pomegranate juice, or any fruit juice for that matter, in an imperial stout. Worked out well here, making a very smooth, easily quaffable Imperial Stout.

Jul 13, 2009 Pours pitch black with no head. Nose of chocolate malts, dark fruits, soy, and sourness. Very interesting and complex taste. Very rich and smooth. More pomegranate coming through on the taste. Really cool beer.

Jun 22, 2009 courtesy of Chris Beers - dark black colour with a little dark beige foam; deep aroma of pralines, black chocolate and tar; fairly roasted; thick and oily mouthfeel; moderate carbonation and a robust sweetness; fair late bitterness before a chocolatey festival in the finish - a powerful dessert beer

Jun 20, 2009 12oz bottle, 2008 vintage, from daknole--thanks Dakine! Deep mahogany with ruby highlights and a small tan head, fading to a ring and thin film rather quickly. Dominant aroma is Hershey’s Chocolate syrup--the kind you use to make chocolate milk or put on ice cream--with some light roast and some nondescript fruitiness that I can’t place as pomegranate. The flavor does get a little bit roastier but still the Hershey’s dominates, and plenty of sweetness to be had (not cloying, though). There was also a little bit of vanilla. Still couldn’t pick out any Belgian yeast, or which fruit I tasted. The finish was fairly ashy, unfortunately. Light prickly carbonation with a medium full body. Pretty sweet impy--not a so much roast, if that’s your thing.

Jun 19, 2009 pours dark dark brown almost black; head is brown with a redish ring; aromas of dark chocolate and roasted malt little cherry maybe; tastes of a dominant chocolate malt, cherry and coffee on the finish which lasts-coffee dominant in the aftermath...sweet but good
