Apr 23, 2008 Very complex intense aroma of toffee, chocolate syrup, woody, leafy, bark. Trace of smoke and fig and even a bit musty smell to it. Black opaque pour, viscous, with a thick brown head, and good lacing. Tastes of espresso, bitter bark, currants, and high quality hops. Espresso and walnut finish. Frothy mouthfeel, fantastic complexity and balance. No trace of alcohol. Pairs well with strong meats and cheeses. Hops really shine through when warm. Amazing brew!

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle 2007. Another fine creation from Legend. Pours a thick, jet black beer that resembles molasses, average sized brownish mahogany head. Aroma of bourbon, oak, anise, coffee, toffee, caramel chocolate. A touch acrid at first but mellows out after a few sips. Flavor is very complex, very malty and very good. Some spiciness comes through. Full bodied, silky, smooth and perfectly carbonated. They make some fine brews.

Dec 24, 2005 Updated: Dec 26, 2005Bottle... This beer rocks!... Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, light brown head. Great retention. The rich aroma is to die for... milk chocolate, caramel, toffee, pine needles, vanilla, freshly ground coffee, and butterscotch. The moderately-bitter flavor is all about pine, toffee, grapefruit rind, caramel and charred coffee grounds. Full-bodied and silky with medium carbonation. Finishes astringent, bitter and Mojave dry. Almost too rich to finish the bomber myself, but I pulled it off. Christmas one day early. A world class gem! Huge thanks go out to growler for the bomber.

Sep 4, 2007 650 ml bottle from vintage cellars. This is a unique Imperial Stout with an absolutely intriguing flavor profile and an amazing balance of tastes. Black with a creamy brown head. Full body silky palate. Chocolate, pine, and spice aroma. Interesting sweet taste of chocolate, currants, black pepper, and a wonderful earthy pine taste with espresso notes to the finish. Excellent.

Dec 23, 2006 Draft at Green Leafe, Williamsburg: Pitch-black with a dark tan head. Nicely bittered! A hoppy stout, what a treat! Roasty and toasty. Yummy.

Jan 14, 2007 Black brew with huge foamy brown head. Very strong hop aroma. Big bitter burn, very warm, sweet, sharp and piney. God the burn, it haunts you. Delicious.Hops is very powerful in the flavor with notes of malt creeping through. Strange feeling on the tongue like you licked a piece of metal. Not as heavy bodied as I anticipated, very drinkable and enjoyable. Very hopped up for a stout vice the normal liquid chocolate treats.

May 22, 2008 Thanks sliffy: This has just about the right amount of alcohol for a drinkable IS. Aroma of burnt chocolate malts, and scalded chocolate milk, with an alluring sweetness. Very dark pour, with thin tan head of small bubbles. Extreme malt on the palate but rounded out with a good balance of hop bitterness. Bittersweet and delicious.

May 5, 2006 Many thanks to whomever provided this at Dark Lord Day. Opaque black with a creamy tan head. Café Mocha, caramel, toffee, dried fruit, anise, and more waft up to the nose. Creamy and smooth on the palate and full bodied. The flavor was rich and rewarding with the emphasis on the coffolate.
