dense, rocky head. Sweet, fruity nose. Complex, malty - vanilla and coffee; creamy palate; light notes of raisins and plums. Exquisite.

You guys are all crazy. This was the most magnificent and unique stout that I have ever tried. Great cocoa and mocha flavors. Although, mine was very fresh which could definitely help.

An outstanding, complex bottle-conditioned Imperial stout, from a country with the sort of climate that usually leads to bland lagers. Practically like a less hoppy Old Rasputin. Let it never be said that the British colonial legacy was all bad!

- dark black color, strong roasted mocha aroma with hints of chocolate and hops; bitter, roasted flavor with a sweet mocha character, very smooth

Black with a large long lasting tan head. Smooth silky full body, almost a little oily. Berries in the nose, along with some roast and aniseed. Sweetish liquorice, molasses and roast in the flav. A touch warming but really top stuff.

22 oz bottle. Deep dark brown, tan head. Big roasty, nutty aroma with a hint of alcohol. MMM. This is smooth and creamy. Lucious malts. Creamy chocolate. Roasty, with some malt bitterness. Really like this one.
