Thanks to savvy1982 for the share! Pours a semi-transparent black. The aroma is sweet, fruity, and roasty. Tastes quite complex. Quite good.

Dec 18, 2009 Wow. what a beer! So smooth and drinkable for 11%, the alcohol is well hidden. It has all the usual characteristics of a good Imperial Stout, but has a little of the sightly sweet dark fruit thing going on like the strong Belgians. Excellent!!!!!!

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle, pours like old motor oil with this tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is sweet fruit and smokey mustiness. Taste roasted malty sweetness then hard tongue curling bite of alcohol, smokey, thick. I like it a lot. I just wish we could get it in Ohio

Dec 5, 2009 Many thanks to GorditoABD...Pours a thick black with a medium tan head. Aroma is very chocolatey with notes of vanilla and roasted malt. Flavor follows the nose with hints of dark fruit, but more chocolate than anything. Smooth creamy finish....Fantastic! Thanks Chris!

Dec 2, 2009 2009 bottle
dark brown-black pour, with a super-dark filmy head.
aroma is belgian-stout-y and bursting with tons of different things: malt, grains, vanilla, scotch, chocolate, prunes, figs, tons of green olives, and sweet warm alcohol.
flavor is a well-balanced mix of sweet, bitter, and alcohol bite, though reminiscent of thick chocolate milk.
full bodied with a smooth but dry mouthfeel, has a long, sweet, and strongly alcoholic finish.

Nov 27, 2009 ’09 bottle thanks to hophead22!
Black with a thin tan head that fizzles away upon pouring, leaving an oil slick behind. Nose is way sugary, bordering on juice with the light fruit, hints of roast and chocolate. Again simple in the flavor, more roast and licorice but a majority of the sugar, grape, and plum from the nose. Thin body, sugary finish with roast and licorice. Very simple and disappointingly aged, it’s already thinning out before a year.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottled 750ml. -from City Beer Store, San Francisco. Black coloured, medium sized thick brown head, sweet chocolate nose. Roasted malt, bitter chocolate and coffee with notes of wood and smoke. Alcohol is noticable, finish is bitter. Again easy drinkable and very good imperial stout.

Nov 16, 2009 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Black color with dark tan head. Thick roasty aroma with coffee, charcoal, raisins, prunes, rum and some hot alcohol. Sweet, roasty and warming flavor with coffee, raisins and chocolate. Nice stout with a dark fruit character. hot alcohol in the aroma and flavor is disturbing a bit.
