Growler from Capone’s. Pours a very dark brown, bordering on black with a tiny brownish beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and fine swiss chocolate. Taste is full of roasted malts, chocolate with a slight coffee bean aftertaste. not bad.

Draft @ Capone’s. Pours a midnight black with a smallish tan head. Roasted malts & espresso dominate the aroma. Both are also very prevalent in the flavor, with some molasses and a smidge of woodsy hops. This is a hearty brew. Delicious. Thick & chewy that seems to coat your tongue!

750 ml oz bottle VIA TheEppeist (thanks!). Pours almost pitch black with a tiny tan head. Nose is roasty mocha. Taste starts sweet, then the burnt grains arrive, as well as some piney hops. Dry finish. Burnt coffee is dominant in the aftertaste. Body is medium. Carbonation low/medium.

brewery-bottled 750 from hopdog. Pours black as night with a really nice tan head that is still covering the top of the beer. Hearty stout aroma, with hints of roasted coffee and chocolate (I thought I smelled some chocolate cake). In the mouth it’s has nice, full body with moderate carbonation. Flavor is rich and complex, not as sweet as many imperials and nicely balanced with bitterness. Again coffee, chocolate, with more pronounced smokiness. Slight off note, which might be oxidation (I held on to this for a year or so), but excellent. Thanks a lot, hopdog!

Hand bottled 12oz from Kevin. Very cool! Enjoyed with friends from Ohio down for the weekend. Pours jet black with a light brown head. Molasses is strong in the aroma with notes of smoke, burnt malt, and grain. Hints of date towards the end. The flavor is roasted malt, strong molasses, hints of caramel and smoke. Lightly sweet. Full slick body and mouth feel. Quite enjoyable.
