Apr 9, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of a trade from a while ago (I’m losing track of things in my old age). Thanks! Pours a dark chocolate brown color; khaki head with patchy, fine-bubbled lacing. Generous amounts of charred and roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee in the aroma; some general hop bitterness in there as well. Medium-to-full, slightly chalky mouthfeel: following the nose, plenty of dark bitter chocolate and dark roasted / charred malts; average carbonation; some basic cereal / cardboard notes coming through as well; not an overly complex imperial stout, but drinkable and pretty satisfying overall; nothing rough here, and I’ve been hating the imps lately. What??? I’m absolutely shocked to see this is a 12% beer, and I have to believe that’s wrong?? No alcohol coming through. This gets an extra point just for that. Medium finish, showing toasted grains, cereal, and plenty of dark chocolate.

Mar 28, 2008 Pours a dark brownish/black color with a small tan head. Aromas of coffee,roasted malts and hints of vanilla. Flavor is of wonderful coffee that fades into a wonderful caramel and roasted malt backing. A touch of bitter hops rounds this one out as well. Great Stuff!

Mar 26, 2008 very light and watery flavor. Like the others, I detected a little lactos amid the grainy body.

Mar 19, 2008 Same color as Dr. Pepper. The brew begins by feinting chocolate, but then full on roast kernel uppercuts you in the jaw. A little bit of that opening chocolate sneaks back in toward the end, especially as the beer warms. Keeps juking back and forth between charred grain and popcorn and bittersweet chocolate. Hides the alcohol well, even if I don’t after drinking one.
