Nov 29, 2009 I’ve been waiting awhile to get this beer, and a recent trade with daknole brought this one to my doorstep. A really nice imperial stout with lots of soy sauce notes in both the aroma and palate. Aroma has some meat marinade, light smoke, Fruit Loops, chocolate and anise. Flavor has some dark chocolate, soy sauce, brown sugar, woody, with a roasted malt finish. Really enjoyed this, but more than 1 bottle a week or so would be pushing it.

Nov 8, 2009 dark black pour with small tan head. heavy, dark molasses nose. taste is somewhat sweet with dark roast characters. slightly stringent aftertaste of alcohol is hidden a bit from the sweetness. an excellent imp stout. damn them, wisonsinites.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle via trade thanks to badbeer on BA. Pours black and fairly thick with a lasting tan head. Aroma is roast, dark fruits, chocolate, and sherry. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, caramel, dark fruits, wood, and some sherry-like oxidative notes. Maybe a touch of soy sauce, but still it’s very good. Palate is smooth and full with soft carbonation.

Amazing balance between Bitter high cocoa choclate, sweet and tangy dark fruits, roasted malt, and smokiness. Way better than expected. Super smooth. sticky mouthfeel This is quite the treat. Never thought leinenkuglels would have it in them. I want some more of this! Awesome beer!

Sep 20, 2009 [2486-20090920] 355mL bottle. Nutty bourbon wood cask aroma with sweet malt roast. Black body with a quick foamy dark brown head. More rich sweet woody roasted chestnuts malt flavour. Full body is thick and a little flat. Very rich, lovely brew, could stand some more carbonation.

Sep 20, 2009 2009-09-20. Black body with a modest chocolate brown head. Aroma is interesting, dark fruit, malt, light alcohol. Flavour is similar, dark fruit, light bitterness, very light raisin and touches of what may be oxidation. Smooth medium to full bodied palate is very lightly carbonated. Pleasant, just a touch syrupy at times, which could be helped by increased carbonation. Bottle c/o HogTownHarry

Sep 18, 2009 This one surprised me. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, and dark chocolate and some bitterness. Flavor has some hops, dark roasted malts and bitter coffee. Pretty big, just not that smooth for me.
