Nov 19, 2009 Deep brown/black pour. There is a lot of dark cocoa and a bit of herbal character. Dark sweet chewy malts with sweet chocolate and more fudginess than would be apparent from the nose. Sweet and cocoaish with a nice sweetness. Warming brings up a touch of booziness, but it’s nice.

Nov 14, 2009 Bought way back at Sam’s when it was Sam’s in Chicago. Pours a nice pour. Good head. Very caramel, almost bourbon taste. Vanilla. Roasty. Very sticky. I liked it. On second thought...maybe what I thought was bourbon-vanilla is really soy sauce. Beer does not grow with me with each sip but rather turns away from me.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle shared by Me. Pours a black bruin body with a thin tan head. Malty chocolate and char coffee character. Rather thin and light in flavor for an imperial stout. Vanilla and a mild roast and wooden note. Decent.

Nov 1, 2009 Bomber - not sure who shared this? Pours a mostly deep woody brownish near dark black- good toffee head. Aroma is on the sweet side for a big stout- lots of molasses, burnt pecan pie, oily, chocolate malts, light on the roasty side- and some light herbal hops. Flavor is also sugary sweet, toasty, roast malts, a bit burnt, caramel laden, with more molasses, yet still not a huge thick syrupy body, just medium mouthfeel and a somewhat clean bitter finish. Better than some of their other stouts, but still not great.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle at Paul’s place for Kan’s visit. Pours a dark black with a thin white head. Sweet, chocolate. A bit sweet, chocolate, malt, candy. Finishes up with a bit of roast.

Oct 28, 2009 Bomber from EBay ($6.49 plus $5 shipping) Nose of chocolate, smokliness, and light licorice. Clear dark cherry brown with a medium cinnamon tan head that left quickly. Flavor was white pepperiness, light sweetness and smoke. Finish was lightly both smoky and bitter.
