Mar 28, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2008Initially, there is a taste of chocolate, roast, coffee, and alcohol that quickly fades and there is not much flavor left on the palate. It seemed to be a promising start, but left something to be desired. The flavor faded out to quick and this became boring to drink. It is still ok but there are much better beers by left hand. Try Smoke Jumper.

Mar 15, 2008 I may have found my new favorite. The high-water mark for me is Stone Imperial Russian Stout--a beer I an unable to procure locally. I stumbled across this in an unlikely place and it is very comparable to that great beer by Stone.

Mar 12, 2008 I had this over a year ago and am now entering my rating. Looking at the others I was suproised. Black in color with an ok head. Malts and some roastiness in the aroma. Coffee in the taste, seems to be missing something. Did not enjoy that much.

Mar 9, 2008 Black; small lingering amber head. Chocolate malt, molassas, and espresso aroma. Strong, sweet stout, but easy to drink and very flavorful. Quite sweet with some powder sugar, honey, amber malt. Was on tap at PP Carlsbad...I’d like another please!

Mar 9, 2008 Roasty. Coffee taste. Pours nice and black. A good Imperial Stout even if it is not among the best I’ve had.

Mar 9, 2008 Updated: Apr 28, 2008Dark brown/black with little head, some cobweby capping. Aroma of earth and java. Silky smooth palate, soft carbonation. Rich dessert-like flavors, rounded, smooth, and sweetish. Alcohol in finish but exceptionally smooth. Nice!
Re-rate. More cocoa came out this time, and predominated the experience. Down from a 4.0 after being recalibrated, but still enjoyed it a lot and savored it.

Mar 8, 2008 Updated: May 13, 2008Liked ’er. Very excellent aroma of hazelnut and sunflowerseeds. Beautiful. The beer is EXTREMELY light for an IS. It’s borderline brown ale color. This is the nuttiest IS I’ve ever had, it really tastes exactly like salty sunflowerseeds. That’s a great thing too by the way. It’s like salty choco-nuts. Really different and really great. I’m loving this beer the more I drink it. Think of pouring nesquick powder over a salted peanut shell and licking it off and you have he essence of this beer. Wow, I’ve really never had anything like this.
