Feb 27, 2005 Poured a very dark brown. Coats the glass with a thin brown oily film. Roasted malty aroma smelled quite a bit like the seasoning they put on smoke house almonds. Flavor was sweet of roasted malt with just a slight soy sauce taste. Nice hop finish.

Jan 23, 2005 Pours black with a big brown head. Sweet molasses and dark chocolate aroma with some sweet hops. Very mild, dark chocolate and roasted malt flavors. A nice sweet hop finish. Just the right amount to cover the alcohol. Oily mouthfeel. Thanks Secret Santa!!

Dec 10, 2004 12.10.04 Bomber bottle thanks to loweredsixth. Nearly black beer with thin tan head. Aromas are molasses sweet and sharpness is betrayed with a slight nasal burn from alcohol and hops. California style impy all the way, this brew is not letting me down. Deep and roasty, not much fruit. Plenty of coffee, caramelized grapefruit, burnt hazelnut. Could be fuller bodied for an imperial but the solid alcohol presence makes up for that pretty well. Very nice brew. Thanks, Joe!

Nov 8, 2004 Updated: Sep 17, 2006black as any stout should be.chocolate small head.aroma is almost like a port wine,with a hint of sour grapefruit.when i drank it i thought it was a bit strange for an imperial stout.mixed flavors of cherries,wine,grapfruit,and some roasted malts at the end.it reminded me of a grandcru or barleywine,more than a stout.RE-RATE:9/17/2006:i think when i first had this i was a ratebeer rookie.i know can enjoy the complexity of this brew.my rating had been "upped"
