Nov 16, 2008 Bottle shared by PWoods.
Very dark brown, near black in color with a lively, bubbly tan head. Smell is heavily roasted malts, some ’’green’’ hops and some light cocoa.
Taste is where those hops really shine and come through. Very piney and grassy. Not near enough cocoa to help out.
Mouthfeel is very nice. Pillowy soft and velvety.
Very good beer, just a bit too much hops for me.

Oct 16, 2008 Bottle, brought to the 2008 pre-Brewers’ Jam warmup. It pours black with amber extremities, a dark tan head, and a swirl leaves high, tight legs. The aroma is molasses, sweet chocolate, sweet pipe tobacco, and vanilla. The flavor is pipe tobacco and burnt sugar, primarily, but with a subtle ashy bitterness to balance it. There is a sort of milk-chocolate sweetness I notice once in a while. It finishes with a sourish char note. I gotta say, I’m a sucker for beers with fresh tobacco notes; I wish I could find that more often. Excellent brew, this.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle shared by tronraner at the Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Poured black with a creamy light brown head that settles out to a thin layer that lasts and left good lacing. Sweet aroma of milk chocolate and marshmallow. The flavor has burnt malts with a light hop background. Medium body. Sweet with a bitter, burnt aftertaste. Excellent!

Oct 12, 2008 Suttree’s 2008 Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to tronraner. Pitch black pour with a thick milk chocolate head, the liquid is quite thick and syrupy. Sweet toasted marshmellows, dark bitter chocolate and roasted malt aromas. Sweet smores over burnt campfire. Great tasting chocolate bitterness in the finish.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle courtesy of growler. Pours black with brown head. Aroma of burnt malts. Flavors of sweet burnt malts, chocolate and coffee. Some piney hops are also noticeable. Full body with minimal carbonation. The addition of oats really gave this beer a nice silky mouthfeel. A decent, easy drinking imperial stout.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle from Dkachur, thanks! Pours Black with small tan head. Aroma was of straight butter with some deep roasted malt notes. The taste was the same with bright hops mingling in the background. Deep bitter roasted finish.
